I heard it once somewhere (so it could be total bullshit), but the birds , who fly into windows, are drunk from overripe berries.
Ergo, don't forget to put up a poster about drunk driving awareness
Comfort is a big reason. But if you have a sacrificial used laptop and start familiarise yourself with it.
I started using Linux a few years ago, and from bottom of my heart advise you don't touch Arch (CachyOS) with a 10 feet pole. You need experience to differentiate bullshit solutions when you search forums. For example I just saw a thread saying you need to modify kernel modules if you want to change the touchpad sensitivity of a wireless keyboard.
I also advise you against Nobara, just use Fedora KDE. Because it's unofficially maintained often breaks or just bugs after large updates. As a novice It was easier for me just to reinstall than fix.
In Hungarian it's 'nefelejcs' with the same meaning. Curious what's the origin of this name.
