with the recent windows news, I wanna switch to Linux. I tried mint a few years ago and was annoyed and frustrated with multiple things, like having to input the password all the time and the general ammunt of constant trouble shooting and needing a tutorial for the most basic things.

I want a distro that:

  1. Is very user friendly, ideally not requiring a terminal
  2. Is hard to accidentally fuck up
  3. ideally doesn’t require a password for every input

I basically just use my laptop to browse the web, draw in krita and use ms office apps (have been getting used to open office lately)

What do y’all suggest?

    Based on those requirements, honestly, I’d recommend a Mac. Very user friendly, no terminal, very, very hard to fuck up, and only needs authentication when you’re changing system settings.

    Macs do things a little differently, so you’ll have to learn the Apple way, but generally it’s all very dead simple point and click.
