Haha, yeah, as I’ve learned. I’ll try again when I build a new machine. I really like the overall look and feel of Mint.
It’s been a few years since I used Mint, but I enjoyed it. Most of the Debian-based distros are very similar, actually. All are decent for beginners. If not Mint, Pop is another good option.
Also Zorin
I installed Zorin on my wife’s (=no prior Linux experience) laptop something like 2 years ago. Considering the fact that she still uses it almost daily, I’d say you’re right.
Personally, I dislike some of the custom stuff it has over the more standard desktop environments, but I do think it’s great for usability in that it feels Windows-adjacent.
Just boot it off a thumb drive and take it for a test drive.
Use Ventoy if you want to test multiple distros.
I did that prior and decided I like it, so I did a proper install. I just didn’t try the sound jacks and didn’t notice one of my drives not mounting.
