Pop OS is feeling slightly neglected at the moment since they haven’t released any big Cosmic Desktop changes in a while. Elementary is pretty to look at but its not the most intuitive setup.

For the foreseeable future, Ubuntu, Mint, and Fedora will remain the top three easiest to recommend distros for most use cases. Pop can hop back in if once they release the Rust based Cosmic. I really want to love openSUSE’s Tumbleweed but configuration is frustrating.

If we stick to Wayland and Mir, there is Fedora, Soon next Ubuntu, KDE Neon, when Lxqt is ready so is Lubuntu, Arch distros seems to work with Wayland, Liri OS might also be a good choice. The rest seems to be satisfied with x 11. all those new X11 DE:s since 2010 what is the point? Do they think X11 will be maintained forever?

Note that a Mate edition also exists (it’s the one I prefer and use).

NOT! I’m not dissing the distro, but it definitely isn’t for beginners, unless you want to scare them away from Linux.

Elementary OS will be more interesting when Darling matures enough to be included.

PC Linux is also a nice interface and easy to use. As for just straight out runs and easy to install includes everything Linux then it is obviously Ubuntu.
