PCLinuxOS used to be great for Linux newbies, but not anymore
Let's pretend we have a time machine and set the 5th-dimensional time coordinates back ten years.
Once we arrived in that simpler period, ask me my top five Linux distributions for new users and you can bet I would have included PCLinuxOS in the mix. That's because, at the time, this particular open-source operating system was ahead of its time and offered a platform that any user could adopt without too much trouble.
Hop back in that time machine and return to the here and now and you'll see that OS is no longer on the list of best Linux distributions for new users.
Why? What happened?
