I’ve been using Mint Cinnamon for years and after having used Plasma on a number of different setups Mint feels so antiquated. It’s not even close, Plasma is far superior. It’s so much more modern and snappy feeling and you can do so much more with it if you want. Cinnamon makes you have to figure to look in applet settings to then find the setting to modify the start menu. So unintuitive. Among a bunch of other examples I could give
It does work just fine and that’s okay. One feature that’s killer on Plasma is auto theme switching (and night light which they both have) so you don’t burn your eyes out after dark. Would be sweet if Mint had this feature too
Been using cinnamon for a couple years and I’m happy with it, although I don’t spend much time on my computer. Been recommending it as well since I don’t know any better. What’s the most user friendly distro you would recommend ?

This is why when people tell me that Linux Mint is user-friendly, I usually assume they don’t use it themselves.
I use Mint, it’s the only distro I’ve used for a significant period of time, it works just fine for me

If you also game, Bazzite.
You have to go out of your way to accidentally break it, and drivers just work. Flatpaks are easy for people to install.
Otherwise, of your hardware does have issues with Fedora for any reason, Debian. It’s more stable than Mint.
LMDE? Hahaha
