with the recent windows news, I wanna switch to Linux. I tried mint a few years ago and was annoyed and frustrated with multiple things, like having to input the password all the time and the general ammunt of constant trouble shooting and needing a tutorial for the most basic things.
I want a distro that:
- Is very user friendly, ideally not requiring a terminal
- Is hard to accidentally fuck up
- ideally doesn’t require a password for every input
I basically just use my laptop to browse the web, draw in krita and use ms office apps (have been getting used to open office lately)
What do y’all suggest?
As everybody suggests, you should either try Mint again or go ZorinOS. If you have problems there are dedicated communities for asking general Linux questions so feel free to ask.

Also, LLMs are very handy for trivial questions like binding PDFs together (which can be done using pdfunite FYI). Just don’t blindly execute what it says, let it explain the meaning of each part of the command.
