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 ?
For me, Ubuntu still lives up to the moniker of “pre-configured Debian”. I like using it on servers, but on desktops I find there is lots of initial config it requires.
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.
I use Mint, it’s the only distro I’ve used for a significant period of time, it works just fine for me

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.
