Support for Windows 10 ends on October 14, 2025. Microsoft wants you to buy a new computer. But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again?

You just need to recommend an easy to use Distro. So no Archlinux. And Nobara which I use is rather middle difficulty.
honestly, and this is a hill i’m willing to die on, the distro really doesn’t matter it’s the DE that’s the deal breaker.
You could have something like CachyOS, which is Arch, that is painfully easy to install. you can choose your DE, hell even your shell, now from the gui installer. It’s noob friendly. I’ve seen more people online have more issues trying to update Ubuntu than Arch. Hell I rarely read of any Fedora issues when compared to Ubuntu and Mint.
Honestly it doesn’t matter the distro. as long as it can install KDE Plasma which is THE defacto noob friendly DE then it’s fine. if it’s the default DE, even better.
I agree that the average user will notice the DE more than the distro, but isn’t Cinnamon pretty easy as well?
However what I have experienced is that what people on the fediverse claim is easy isn’t necessarily easy for the average joe. Basically, most people who have no clue about IT expect stuff to work out of the box.
