I think Fedora is, GNOME is a much more intuitive and attractive DE to new Linux users than KDE Plasma, and GNOME Software is very simple to get started with for people that aren’t very tech literate.

Cinnamon, I would argue, is better than gnome (for new users). And while I wouldn’t suggest mint for the long haul because it doesn’t plan to implement Wayland for a while, it’s still the fastest and most compatible one out of the box

I haven’t actually used Cinnamon, what’s so great about it for new users?

It’s very fast on older hardware. Leaves out a lot of the modern transitions. Very simple start menu style browsing. Minimal customization options. And mint itself is very stable and comes with a good set of default software. Almost no command line needed
