    The age old question. You have to understand that Linux the kernel is made in such a way that anything built on top of it will always require way too much from the user. It feels like something made from programmers for programmers, just like how UNIX was designed. No distro will be able to change that. Windows is packed with bandaids to make it behave closer to what users expect, but anything that comes from UNIX has it’s focus in making the code nice, not making ordinary users happy necessarily.

    So picking a distro is entirely a choice on how you wanna interact with the kernel’s interfaces, but they’re still the same interfaces. No pretty UI will change that.

    Just make sure that the distro you choose has a mature community behind it and that packages are being actively maintained. Make sure that if you file a bug report it will get some attention. That’s the only thing you should care about in a distro, everything else is flashy nonsense.

      Android runs an only slightly modified Linux kernel, and yet the OS requires much less from the user than e.g. Windows or MacOS.

      Chromebooks run a bog-standard Linux kernel and the target audience is kids.

      My car’s entertainment system runs a standard Linux kernel, and the UX is so cut down that PC expertise really doesn’t matter when using it.

      MacOS and iOS, two systems known for their ease of use, both stem from BSD, which comes from Unix.

      The kernel has nothing to do with this.

      In fact, the only mainstream kernel used in user-facing operating systems that doesn’t “come from Unix” is Windows. Everything else is derived either from Linux or BSD, which both are derived from Unix.

      There isn’t even a mainstream phone OS anymore that doesn’t “come from Unix”.
