El Duvelle on Nostr: Which distribution of #Linux is the most similar to #Windows and works from scratch, ...
Which distribution of #Linux is the most similar to #Windows and works from scratch, without needing to use the command line? Does that even exist?
Context: I have mostly used Windows my whole life, but I'd like to use #win10eol to move some of my computers to Linux. I have tried Linux before (mostly #Ubuntu) and kept having problems, whether big or small, that wasted a lot of my time. I want to try again but do not have time to try dozens of Linux distributions. I know that if it works like Windows (i.e. same keyboard shortcuts, same settings), it will probably work for me. Any suggestions? 🙏
