  • ideally not requiring a terminal

    No chance, sorry. Look at every Linux distro in existence and you’ll find the terminal pinned in the Dock. Learning to use it is just part of The Linux Experience.

    ideally doesn’t require a password for every input

    You can enable autologin, but in my experience this just means you have to enter your password in every time you open a new app. You can look into Howdy. Basically the Linux equivalent of Windows Hello. But this will require terminal to configure as well. And most likely still wont work because biometric hardware is rarely compatible with Linux.



  • the distro is now facing problems installing certain programs for software development

    What programs? What kind of errors?

    I think there are issues related to the immutability of the distro

    Unlikely. That only applies to the OS partition.

    they told me they appreciate its friendlier KDE interface so I wish to avoid switching from this distro again if possible

    Pretty much every distro will have KDE Plasma optional.

    Thus I intend to ask here if it is possible to arrange something for easing development related tasks e.g. VM, distrobox etc. or whether it is easier to simply switch to some other compatible distro.

    Hard to say without knowing what the problem is but switching distros rarely solves anything.
