Stock Gnome is indeed a mess, but thankfully we're not limited to that. KDE, Xfce, and Cinnamon all offer environments that are far more intuitive to use, especially from someone coming from Windows. And there are good distros built around all of these as the primary DE. I usually recommend Mint (the default edition, i.e. Cinnamon) to people who get UX fatigue from the recent developments in Windows land and want something that "just works" and isn't made by developers who have a permanent you're-holding-it-wrong mentality.
- joquarky 1y agoThis is what I went with about a year ago and I have had only one small issue (not enough swap space by default). This is my first Linux desktop success after several attempts over the past two decades. I still remember my first attempt (probably late-90's) - it took me 3 hours to figure out how to get an mp3 to play.
