I’ve been using Mint Cinnamon for years and after having used Plasma on a number of different setups Mint feels so antiquated. It’s not even close, Plasma is far superior. It’s so much more modern and snappy feeling and you can do so much more with it if you want. Cinnamon makes you have to figure to look in applet settings to then find the setting to modify the start menu. So unintuitive. Among a bunch of other examples I could give
Been using cinnamon for a couple years and I’m happy with it, although I don’t spend much time on my computer. Been recommending it as well since I don’t know any better. What’s the most user friendly distro you would recommend ?
In the past I would have said Ubuntu, then kubuntu, but I have had problems lately with things not “just working” because they were installed as a snap.
If I had to recommend something, I would still recommend Ubuntu because of the community, and the ui being generally well polished.

This is why when people tell me that Linux Mint is user-friendly, I usually assume they don’t use it themselves.

Debian. It’s basically Ubuntu minus the BS.
I am happy to be so easily disproven! Thank you!

If you also game, Bazzite.
You have to go out of your way to accidentally break it, and drivers just work. Flatpaks are easy for people to install.
Otherwise, of your hardware does have issues with Fedora for any reason, Debian. It’s more stable than Mint.
