I personally like mint and pop!os for new users, but for this user I want to try something windows like with more sex appeal.
what don't you mean by "sex appeal"?
Kubuntu is just really well polished. It works really well and stable nowadays. Only downside is snap.
Also have a look at Linux MX. Also very well polished and some really good tools.
MX Enlightenment Respin has a unique and excellent look. Add some Propaganda Wallpaper Tiles to further enhance the vibe https://github.com/BenjaminHCCarr/PropagandaTiles
ChromeOS Flex. Very low maintenance.
Not really a Linux distro. Based on Gentoo but not really a Linux distro, just like Android.
endless os is somewhat chromeos like, but based on debian. read-only ostree debian stable base, flatpak applications, simplified desktop and ui.
use the 4gb 'basic' installer iso unless you want a lot of extra programs and offline content included right out of the box. and note it's definitely not those who like to tinker and change everything. endless is locked down pretty tight so it's harder to break, but that means less flexibility and very few customization options.
I'd honestly just recommend Debian stable at this point.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
