that would be fun and easy to use but that would mean no neofetch no terminal games no ls no vim no flatpak sadly would that be a good distro? i know about chromeos and android and i know linux users don’t usually recognize those as linux distros but i do honestly

    xubuntu and while i know that xubuntu from time to time will tell you to update without opening the terminal it still forces you to learn how to use it!! and yes i know that desktop environments do most of the work for example gnome is really good at being for beginners and for everyone xfce too

      Thanks for answering!

      xubuntu

      I’ve only started to use Linux after Snaps were introduced to Ubuntu. As the community has been pretty vocal in their disdain, I lost any inclinations to test out Ubuntu or any of its flavors from the get-go.

      Though, I have used Zorin lite; which is Ubuntu LTS with Xfce by the Zorin OS team. Which is probably the closest I’ll get to Xubuntu. From what I recall, it was pretty neat. I did use the terminal, but it was more out of convention. Therefore I don’t really recognize myself in the following sentiment:

      it still forces you to learn how to use it!

      Would you mind elaborating?

      On your next distro hop try OpenSUSE with Gnome. Gnome will prompt when the system has updates for you and you just hit the update button. If you want to add remove software use the Yast2 Software GUI tool. You search a software, check the package you want and hit finish. All the system admin can be Done with YAST2 GTK GUI. No need for terminal
