After about 10 hours of reading and video watching, it seems pretty unanimous that linux mint with cinnamon is the easiest one to use and everything else is hobbyist stuff.
I daily drove Linux Mint for 10 years. The Cinnamon desktop is still my favorite. I’m using Fedora KDE right now because of its Wayland implementation, I wanted better support for stuff like Freesync, mixed refresh rates, there’s even experimental support for HDR. Mint is just now rolling out any Wayland support at all and it’s not ready.
I’m actually at the point where I’d recommend Mint Cinnamon with X11 for Nvidia systems and Fedora KDE with Wayland for AMD systems. If it’s a work machine that uses integrated graphics and it’ll do spreadsheets and quickbooks.com all day, go with Mint it’s comfier.

Right? The easiest one is the hobbyist stuff, everything else is srs bsns.
