    I would guess literally 99% of people could switch to Linux Mint and be more than happy.

      I installed Cinnamon the other day, because I remembered it to be easy to use. It is.

      But. It looks dated to me. Could really use a facelift. Maybe it’s just me, but in light of modern user interfaces Cinnamon ia functional, but not a looker anymore. Zorion OS and Gnome in general, for exanple, show how it can be done.

      Maybe just me…

        No, it’s not just you. Mint and Ubuntu get thrown around a lot by people recommending them to new users, and they’re fine, but they are a bit dated.

          I usually push new users to KDE Plasma if they are most used to Windows. It helps that Plasma is also my preference and I know how to help them with it, but yeah. I think it’s most likely to make intuitive sense to Windows users.
