I’m looking for a distro to contribute to finally make 'year of Linux desktop, to happen. For me, I see that as full UI/UX behaviour that behaves almost identical to Windows/Mac (eg no middle click to paste).
Which distro comes closest to it?

Bazzite is the correct answer. Or steam OS. Anything immutable. Mint is not the right answer.
There is no right answer. While I love immutables, they bring their own set of problems to the table.
Sure but they answer the question correctly, whereas alternatives don’t.
It’s not about what you prefer, it’s about what meets the answer to their question most appropriately.
They are asking for a 100% gui/ui experience with not having to access the terminal.
The right answer to send someone to in that case with the ecosystem we have, is immutables. That what they are for.
They said GUI everything AND “just works”. I was more so referring to the latter.
My point is that nothing “just works”. With immutables, your system is less likely to break after updates, but introduce other headaches.
For example, immutable distros usually primarily use flatpaks. But not all apps are available as flatpaks, may have issues running under flatpak (ie IDEs), or have permission issues that you need some know-how to workaround. There may be an offiical package from the developers, but most immutable distros will discourage using such a package if it was an rpm. Even then, if you wanted to use the rpm, Universal Blue is moving in the direction of removing layering (natively bootc, replacing Fedora base). And also the fact that if you do want to overlay, you need to use the terminal.
