Good thing I've been learning to use linux for the past couple of years, if they double down on this I'll switch permanently, just got to find a distro I like because I haven't been able to find anything that just "works" without eventually having to open the terminal for one reason or another.
Honestly, the terminal is probably not going to be that hard to use for you. Considering that you're on lemmy, you're probably ahead of the curve in tech skills. Maybe don't go picking something in the deep end like arch though.
/j I use arch btw.
Yeah I'm slowly learning most of the terminology and commands, it can be a bit overwhelming at times.
I had the most success with Manjaro but for some reason chunks of it randomly break over time as updates go on, some Arch enthusiast have mentioned to me its because of some weird shenanigans done by the folks who maintain Manjaro's software distribution, something about updates being held back for "stability" but in the end they end up doing the opposite.
Right now I'm running a Fedora dual boot config with Win11 but keeping the bootloader on a separate drive so Windows doesn't touch it at all.
