I have a laptop from 2014 and I’m thinking of installing Kubuntu or Arch. I don’t know much about linux but the computer is not important and is damaged so I can screw it What would you recommend? I’m thinking of something customizable (Arch) but easy to use (so Kubuntu is a good option)

If the English is not good, blame the translator 😃👍

I have the minimum requirements for both.

Edit: The computer isn’t suposed for be a daily driver. And thanks for the replies.

    I don’t think regular Arch is the best for new Linux users at all but their are a few Arch based distros with graphical installers.

    I’d you are trfh savvy, the Arch install process should be ok though.

    Of the 2 you suggested, u would go with Kubuntu. KDE is a very popular desktop environment and Ubuntu is solid. I’ve moved distros quite a bit but always go back to Ubuntu-based. I’ve been on Mint for the last 6 or so years.
