Depends on the person. If it’s just someone that uses a PC for the browser and doesn’t want to learn anything something like popOS or mint would do. If they are ok with learning some Linux/Arch basics, BTRFS + EndeavorOS + KDE is hard to beat and would be my first recommendation

Title is a bit missleading. He’s also setting out $3billion for homeless facilities. Better than nothing, he’ll probably criminalize homelessness even more than it already is at the same time.

I doubt the $3 billion will do much to reverse the damage California has done with their prison machine, cost of living crisis, and under funded public services. Unless they address the underlying issues the problems are not going to go away.

It’s important to make a distinction between drugs that cause substance addiction (alcohol, opioids, tobacco) and things that trigger some people’s behavioral/impulse addictions, Cannabis, food, sugar, porn.

I find it quite odd anyone would have them in the same category, even if you are not or have ever been a durg user.
