My Family has been using either #Ubuntu (2 computers) or #OpenSuse #TumbleWeed (5 computers) - for some years now.
#Yast enabled my family members to do a lot of things for themselves without great further knowledge (or - gasp - the command line), e.g. installing a printer.
I have already semi switched to RebornOS (pretty much base Arch, but less command line and more gui focused than EndeavourOS) main pc is still dual boot but hoping to wean myself off over time.
Work dev box will be going to Ubuntu from another distro, house NAS will be too. Nothing else cracks the reliability and support threshold, and I'm sorry Mint is just Ubuntu tuned up.
New music machine will be going to Windows (10 pro if I can avoid 11) because I'm done with Linux music and audio.
Appropriate environments for target use cases.
I've experimented with MX and it's good but not 100% there. Might give Fedora a try again but only experimentally, not on important boxen.
probably #mint as last time I ran Linux it seemed fairly stable and user friendly. #ubuntu is another one that gets recommended for ease of use. Way back I remember using #centOS for a uni project.
I started using Linux in about 2003. I have 2 desktops and 1 laptop at home, all Linux. Mint is my main OS, but I have at least 6 other Linux OS on KVM I change those ones out often because I want to make sure I'm not missing anything.. 😂 😂
Switched to GNU/Linux about 20 years ago and as time goes by and Windows is becoming more and more enshittified bloated spyware and adware it is becoming more and more obvious switching to GNU/Linux was one of the smartest and best computer-related things I did. Currently I'm using openSUSE Tumbleweed with KDE Plasma desktop and loving it.

Lately I installed on my wife's computer fedora and used flatpack (through Gnome Software) to install all the applications.
So far we are both happy with fedora. I just hope the system upgrade will be easy...
