Since Windows 11 has recently become borderline unusable in many old PCs, I’m trying to convince some people to try Linux. Problem is that I have spent the last few years with a custom built Archlinux and have no idea what is the recommended starter distro nowadays.
They’re stubborn and not willing to learn how to use a terminal or anything of the sort, which clashes with my CS background experience too.
Any recommendations? DPKG distros are okay, but bonus points for rolling release ones.
Edit: thanks for the help y’all! I’ll take a look on Mint and maybe Manjaro.
I only moved to Linux myself last year, and went/stuck with bazzite. I use my computer for gaming, browsing the Internet, consuming media and occasionally some basic office work, which all work just fine right out of the box.
I haven’t even had to use the CLI much yet, and am still very inexperienced using it, but the fact that I am able to use the OS as my daily driver without any real need for the CLI should speak volumes to its user friendliness.
