From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

They probably want updates

New Zorin just came out. And when people say OOTB and no hassles they imply they don't want to deal with a rapid release distro.

Bazzite. It's made for gaming, but it just works, 0% hassle. I used to love doing lots of stuff with the terminal in arch, but since I switched I haven't opened the teminal once.

I would recommend Vanilla OS, especially Vanilla OS 2 once it's released. It's a very stable distro with an immutable system. It also allows you to install arch, debian, fedora, etc. packages using the apx package manager

Ok, this depends.

I had some trouble providing support for a friend after I've recommended Vanilla OS. I believe it will be a good OS in the future but not now.

Kinoite or mx linux

EndeavorOs, imagine arch, but as easy to install as Ubuntu, but everything just works
