I used a bit of Linux Mint, Ubuntu, Lucid Puppy and some variations of Debian before on multiple computers, but not enough to fully understand it.
Have used Windows for a very long time and I am kind of a power user (screw powershell, I am not touching that)
It’s a good distro to use out of the box. It’s well polished, pretty and functional.
It has some “foolproof” features, like having to confirm stuff that may break your system in terminal, if you don’t like that you may want to stick with Mint.
