Basically, which linux distro is the best for a non-power user? Someone who wants to be able to get up and running without having to learn how to manage the OS using the cli.
Quick example: When I install a new OS, the first thing I want to do is install Brave. That should be as easy as “click on this thing, type in brave, select Brave, install.”
Probably Ubuntu or one of the Ubuntu derivatives like Mint or Pop!_OS
Better to go for derivatives due to ubuntu forcing you to use snap, which sucks.
Sure, but someone who just want the app store desktop experience probably is going to care about snap vs. deb
Yes they will, as snaps make everything terribly slow.
Been using Ubuntu for quite a while now, trying to move to somewhere else because Ubuntu moves to a strange direction with snaps and other stuff.
