And if I'm a windows normie that's sick of windows windowing, I'll be fine using mint... Right? Y'all are good at making this sound very complex.

    Mint is perfect for exactly that purpose. There's a daunting marketplace of alternatives all with different specialties. Mint's specialty is being as easy and newbie friendly as possible. Out of the box - it just works - etc.

    Probably! Best way to find out, is to just try it out :)

    Fwiw, this isn't really aimed at people who are just dipping their toes in. Enthusiasts in any field can sound insane from the outside in

    Mint is meant for beginners and folk who just want an OS, not a hobby.

    Another to check out is ZorinOS. Same deal as Mint, but looks wise is closer to modern Windows and is also designed to make it very easy to run windows programs in Linux.
