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.”
Doesn’t the Mint software center prompt for an admin authentication if you install a .deb package?
If so, an immutable OS like Silverblue would be technically more simple, seeing as flatpak installation doesn’t require sudo.
It does, but I wasn’t even thinking of it.
Mint has flatpak integrated in it’s software management tool, so that might be enough.
Fedora maybe, I usually hear powere users using it, but for Mint I know that my parents and girlfriend don’t have any issues.
Fedora is a bit more complicated to install and configure, but once that’s done it’s not a difficult distro to use. And Silverblue makes it even easier to maintain than Mint as it’s immutable.
