I've been using Linux Mint for years now and really enjoy it. It looks good, works with most things out of the box and I've had minimal issues with it.

It's a bloated distro since it tries to cater to most set ups and ships with drivers, etc that you might not need which will annoy the purists but for me the compatibility and things just working is more valuable.

I only use it on a desktop PC so YMMV.

These days I only use Windows for work as that's what my company uses and for games that don't work with Proton.

On Mint, automatic updates started failing for me recently with an obscure error because the /boot partition had too many old kernels. I doubt my parents could have figured out that one.

I'm not suggesting it's a good fit for everyone or non-techies but I do think it would work well for the average HN reader
