What??? Debian has an install wizard that literally walks you through it. You could do nothing but click “Next” and “Ok” over and over and end up with a working Debian system.

I think Debian would be fine for that unless you’re expecting the kid to install, set up, and administrate the system. Would be a good learning opportunity for a teenager though

…consider the question, what is Debian for?

It’s primarily a server OS. Not every distro needs to be good-to-go for desktop/workstation/gaming/mobile use cases out of the box in order for them to be “easy”. This is a big part of why there are a huge basket of distros to choose from, many are for different focuses or specific purposes.

And I didn’t say Debian is only a server OS…

Debian is Debian made easy

Its most likely a little of both. Definitely agree about the suspension travel, its like the first thing I noticed. Sacrificing the most ideal offroading design for the silliness of the build does not make it not purpose-built, and it also is not the same category as your average lifted grocery getter with massive rims and paper thin tires

Probably turns on a dime and crawl and fit around hazards offroad like a champ

I sure would!

Nah this thing has purpose, unlike most ridculous obnoxious lifted trucks that are poor for both offroading and towing. This would almost definitely perform extremely well offroad and likely was made just to be an offroader. It might not be your hobby or taste, and that’s fine, but someone has created a really cool and special vehicle here

This is unironically awesome. Needs a bigger lift to give room for suspension travel though
