Came to this after the 'beginner' annotation was removed. If you've watched a few videos of thermo sudokus and got the basics of triples / quadruples / quintuples etc. then there is a nice logical path here. Good puzzle

As someone fairly new to thermo sudoku, thank you for removing the beginners bit!
I started it, when it still said it was for beginners and got stuck pretty quickley, feeling frustrated.

Solved it though, but took a lot longer than expected. Otherwise really nice puzzle. Thanks!

@As I mentioned in a comment before, by "beginner-friendly" I meant solvable for a beginner, not easy for a beginner. In any case, I'm glad you made it and I hope it gave you some idea of how to approach more challenging thermo puzzles in the future, and what kind of information you need to look for!

Removed the beginner-friendly annotation, since a few people pointed it out it's a bit tricky. I believe the "easy" rating by the solvers to still be accurate, though.

Thanks to everyone who commented for sharing their thoughts! By beginner-friendly I didn't mean "trivially easy". I meant a puzzle a beginner can solve after some thought. Hopefully it can show them some basic strategies they should spot if they want to advance to tougher puzzles. That was the intention, at least!

thank you very much for this puzzle: really enjoable. From a beginner: it's doable but challenging...

This is quite tricky in a couple of places. Hardly a beginner level. Enjoyable though.

I think you are vastly overestimating the abilities of a beginner.
