Say a friend is looking for a new system, and said person is not particularly savvy with technology, what system would you point them toward?

Fedora, now it’s shockingly easy to use.
I silently replaced windows in the home PC and it took 2 months for the tech illiterate SO to say “WTF, why you put Apple on this PC, I thought you hated them” (put same username/password, same wallpaper, even Microsoft Edge)
At work I was shocked that I could login directly as
user@windows.domainwithout any extra configuration. Plain vanilla fresh install, typed my active directory account for laughs, it worked 😲Also at work I was shocked to see that I could just run the exe of the windows-only accounting software and everything works. I even installed LibreOffice in wine, lol (the accounting software needs
soffice.exefor generating spreadsheets). I could even install foxit reader for windows 😂 (sorry, all the Linux PDF readers completely suck when printing, I need previews and booklet and all the extra features)Wait a damn second, Fedora sometimes can allow you to just run a windows exe program by default???
How does it compare to Mint in your experience?
i mean with wine, but compared to the last time i tried it with office apps (playonlinux around 2018) it’s WAY more compatible
Ohh yea makes sense.
I still have to try wine more properly
