Yep, I use it sometimes, although #newbies deserve a #warning: It can be very #slow, so don't judge the #OS's speed after that. Better try on a #USBstick to make sure.

Hmmm... mint? Is it worth it?
Currently runnin PopOS but i have heard good things about mint. More lightweight and snappier in general + good GUI installer/shop/what ever you call it, for a newbie like me. But then again what do a gain for changing my system?
I really don't know. Would like to hear some opinions about mint?

@[email protected] KDE Plasma.
She was absolutely right in that regard. If you're a newbie who wants a desktop environment that will include every general setting available to a mouse click and that will visually be familiar to something a little closer to what you're coming from (presumably, Windows), KDE Plasma is going to be a breeze.
That goes well beyond just my opinion, but also my experience as someone who worked in Consumer IT. Big difference than Enterprise IT, since in Consumer IT you're dealing with people who do not know computers. If they have installed a new OS, or most likely, someone has done it for them, that is already a big step.
As for Linux distribution. I suggest 2 Linux distros for newbies:
1) Ultramarine Linux, KDE Plasma
2) MX Linux, KDE Plasma
You're not going to need to set up drivers, firmware, or install media codecs and configure repositories. That is already taken care of for you. After install, you can use your PC, right away.
You can add, remove, or update apps using a simple app store. In the case of Ultramarine Linux, you can even update your system using the app store (it is integrated). Outside the app store, go ahead and download a 3rd party setup file (RPM for Ultramarine, DEB for MX Linux), and double-click to install, just like you would a Windows setup file. Again, everything is point and click, easy.
Everything is point and click, through the easy-to-use control panel. No matter if you're adding hardware (printer, Bluetooth), configuring your network, adding users, etc... etc... All of it, point and click.
You're dealing with a direct fork of either Fedora (Ultramarine Linux) or Debian (MX Linux). This means, you don't have a lengthily upstream process, and both the development and your system will be stable. You've got 20–30 years of documentation, communities, and live support to fall back on if you need it.
It's just going to work.

My two previous recommendations (Ultramarine Linux KDE and MX Linux KDE) are ideal for absolute newbies.
But if I had to pick an Arch distro, for someone who had some surface level knowledge, it would be both EndeavourOS for generally everyone and Manjaro Linux, if I knew they were not going to use the AUR.

Can the Linux Community, please stop, metaphorically speaking, passing out cyanide pills when dealing with Windows users? Thanks.
I truly believe, at times, that there are Linux users who truly do not want Windows users to move to Linux. Who go out of their way to troll and discourage Windows users, from escaping Microsoft. Or, at the very least, wish to gate keep the Linux ecosystem to some degree.
Watching, for example, the YouTuber, Veronica Explains, defining how user-friendly, and most like Windows or Apple, KDE Plasma is, in terms of desktop environments, only to suggest the 1 Linux Distro that does NOT support KDE Plasma, is infuriating.
Linux Mint, at one point in their history (years ago), included a lock to prevent anyone from installing KDE, that is how much they dislike, KDE. In fact, in the past, if you were having issues, and asked for help on their support forum, and they learn you were using KDE, they would have suggested (incorrectly) that KDE was the issue. And while Cinnamon is not a bad desktop, Linux Mint, however, is. I have gone into lengths, in the past, on why I think that is. Newbie friendly, it is not (see URL from old account).
This is not the first, and it likely will not be the last, that I want to ask someone to put the pills away.
For example, at the time of every new Microsoft Windows release, there are always a bunch of users who claim, this is the last straw, they're fed up with Windows, and they'll try Linux. No time was this most true, then years ago, when Windows 8 was release. 1st, it was the first time Microsoft included ads and self-installing apps (Candy Crush, for example), and 2nd it was lacking the Windows Start Menu. And what did a bunch of Linux users recommend to all these people escaping that nightmare?
Gnome. 🤦 You know, the desktop at the time, which on the surface, had looked nearly identical to Windows 8, the very madness people were trying to escape! 🙄 Worse still, because of the changes, Wine HQ, at the time, was having issues with Gnome, and so anyone who dared to try to run Windows apps, was likely frustrated into pure madness.
And here we have someone wrapping up, claiming Mint, the copy of a copy, of a copy, in terms of stability, that does not come preinstalled with any drivers, firmware, or media codecs, is suggesting Windows users, who likely have prebuilt PCs by HP or DELL, and are expecting system to "just work" directly after install, to use the distro that neither supports the recommend desktop (KDE), is not stable, and will not "just work".
Please. Put. Down. The. Pills.

Aktueller Stand:
#UbuntuStudio macht schon vieles richtig. Durch die Vorkonfigurierung bringt es für #Linuxnewbies, die Audio, Graphics, Video, Photography oder Publishing unter #Linux machen wollen Vorteile.
Ich kann hier keine Aussage zu allen Bereichen von Ubuntu Studio machen, nur über #Audio.
Bei meinem Kurztest hat vieles auf Anhieb funktioniert. Nur mein Midi-Keyboard wurde nicht erkannt.
