Comment on A hypothesis
Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 hours agoI’ve been told that exact thing dozens of times with different “just install it and it does everything for you” distro recommendations, and it hasn’t been the case with any of the ones I’ve tried.
I’m not saying that people are lying to me or anything like that, I just think that people underestimate how used they are to using Linux and thus overestimate how easy it is for people who aren’t.
Right now, I have Zorin OS on my laptop since that’s supposed to be THE easiest one for refugees from Windows to use, and while I’m liking it so far, I’m nowhere near being ready for it to replace Windows on my desktop yet.

I don’t even use Linux often, since my institution require me to run windows i use linux rarely.
Zorin OS has just a better ““marketing”” than other distros, the only plus it has is having a familiar GUI and a big community.
some features of bazzite (you can check everthing in bazzite.gg)
It’s more focused in gaming but it work well even in non-gaming situations
Also, it should be harder to break but i think you need to install apps from flatpak (a software store) instead of the package manager tho, i don’t remember well

Those are exceptionally good plusses, though.
In fact, it’s the number one and number two requirements for easing the passage between systems, which is why I chose Zorin.

Thought, those plus are more common than what you think (usually because making a good looking GUI is easy on Linux and because most of the distros are derivates of Debian, Arch, Fedora or some other famous distro) so yeah, i wouldn’t say it’s the best one for begginer, thought i admit it’s polished and i would probably use it
