Jesus. Another one of these? Every freaking day. (Promise it’s different)

I personally like mint and pop!os for new users, but for this user I want to try something windows like with more sex appeal. I don’t want to have to touch this computer again. Proprietary software is not an issue/consideration. User is techier than most. What has your experience been with kbuntu? Pros/cons? Other suggestions?

      This may actually hinders new users because you can’t just change stuff on the system.

      And no, not everything always work out of the box. Fedora & OpenSUSE codecs, I’m looking at you.

        I think you overestimate the average persons need to configure their computers. Most people just use a web browser, email, and maybe some light gaming. No one new to Linux is going to be really upset that they can’t do complex system operations on the command line.

          No, but they’d be upset if they cannot play their usual media files. H265 is known to be absent by default on a lot of these distros.
