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

    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 ?

    I am happy to be so easily disproven! Thank you!

    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.Β 

    If I had to recommend something, I would still recommend Ubuntu because of the community, and the ui being generally well polished.

    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.

    I use Mint, it's the only distro I've used for a significant period of time, it works just fine for me

    It does work just fine and that's okay. One feature that's killer on Plasma is auto theme switching (and night light which they both have) so you don't burn your eyes out after dark. Would be sweet if Mint had this feature too
