I’m looking for a distro to contribute to finally make 'year of Linux desktop, to happen. For me, I see that as full UI/UX behaviour that behaves almost identical to Windows/Mac (eg no middle click to paste).

Which distro comes closest to it?

    I installed Ubuntu on my father in law laptop years ago and it is still kicking. ( he’s 85 this year) He does whatever he was doing before. My smallest which is 12 has zorin installed in her first peesonal pc and never asked any help. I think that the response greatly vary by the use of the computer you have.

      Exactly.

      My parents are fully on Linux since early dual core CPUs & the only things that didn’t work or they didn’t know how to do was after upgrades. “They” hopped many distros (some very niche, but lots of years on Debians) & I soon came to realise that I don’t need to explain to them what I did when I would change distros.

      They run Tumbleweed for quite a few years (5?) now with 0 work on my side (yay!!).

      Then again, they (and other family and friends) aren’t demanding power users, they don’t even game.
