Since Windows 11 has recently become borderline unusable in many old PCs, I’m trying to convince some people to try Linux. Problem is that I have spent the last few years with a custom built Archlinux and have no idea what is the recommended starter distro nowadays.

They’re stubborn and not willing to learn how to use a terminal or anything of the sort, which clashes with my CS background experience too.

Any recommendations? DPKG distros are okay, but bonus points for rolling release ones.

Edit: thanks for the help y’all! I’ll take a look on Mint and maybe Manjaro.

    Mint, pop_os, even Ubuntu if needed.

    Maybe brazzite but haven’t tried it.
