I know a lot more than fuck all about Linux, but I’m also super lazy, so Mint is a good option.

I also want something that my wife finds easy. She’s now on her second week, and only one issue which she rebooted and it went away. After that, there is benefit to making mine like hers in case I ever need her to do something when I’m away and don’t have remote access.

Mint. Cinnamon for my wife. Probably the same for me, though I’m debating XFCE.

For me it is. I migrated my wife last week and mine is next week. AI spying is the last straw for me.
