Fedora Kinoite.
KDE Plasma (very Windows-ey) and it is “immutable” which means you can’t break it.
Someone else said Kubuntu which aesthetically will look the same and is also a good choice but if you want to start with a “just works” I recommend an immutable distro.
Wow, it (1.3mb) can fit on a single 3.5" floppy.
Just to be safe you may want to copy important files to a cloud storage AND usb drive before formatting the drive.
Also don’t overthink this and there is nothing wrong with Kubuntu, but Kinoite is going to be very similar and a little more resistant to n00b tinkering mistakes.
True, I edited my comment. I personally recommend the USB method (or if you have easy access to the internals- just swapping out an SSD).
It takes some doing, but you can live boot windows from a USB drive for those rare instances you need it. You can also just install it to a VM inside Linux (also not easy). But honestly these days the times where you’ll NEED Windows are few and far between (and getting fewer and farther).
Bazzite is a custom image of Kinoite, but I’m not surprised it’s taking off, it’s great.

Suuure

This is cool but why can’t we change the whole theme😖
TikTok → Reddit → Lemmy → …grass?
I agree re: Fedora, especially the atomic varieties. I do think Zorin is good at what it is but it has a pretty specific use case.
Also, had no idea you were also in this community. Pleasant surprise.
Had the same thought, it’s always nice to encounter a civilized person of distinguished taste and culture out in the wilds.
Turns out good web design skills does not always translate into other skills.
Even without costs you will always have some faction of FOSS users who view UIs and user-friendliness to be something that can be optimized away (and will always, always, let you know their feelings on the topic).
It’s not a scam at all, Zorin is a good distro.
10/10 this is the future of Linux
Totally agree
I’m very familliar with the “Year of the Linux Desktop” joke but I also can’t remember a time previously when Linux was getting this level of mainstream attention.
op asked about the r/linux community which was not mentioned in either of your comments
I’m having trouble following, you’re suggesting that the Linux subreddit continues to exist because of some corporate conspiracy to keep users on commercial media platforms?
yeaaaaah I can’t break it
