I’m looking for a distro to contribute to finally make 'year of Linux desktop, to happen. For me, I see that as full UI/UX behaviour that behaves almost identical to Windows/Mac (eg no middle click to paste).

Which distro comes closest to it?

    Been in and out of Linux since 2006.

    Linux Mint with Cinnamon DE is the only distro I’ve ever used that worked flawlessly for everything without needing to use the terminal at all. It worked so well it was boring. It’s the only distro I would recommend to a lay person

      Kinda the same since 2006 (using Windows for gaming), however I never used Mint & for the last five (?) years installed Tumbleweed to various family & friends machines (it’s my daily driver too).

      I only add this to the discussion bcs it’s a rolling release that is perhaps hard to break for a normal person & low maintenance (no real upgrades, zypper, btrfs).

      I like to mention Tumbleweed bcs of how much time it saved me fixing other ppls puters (all of them very non-demanding tho).
