If you’re seeking something simple to use where you may never need to open the terminal, I’d say ZorinOS(Lite).

You can also test out Debian if you don’t mind a bit of tinkering on the terminal. You’ll have to add yourself as a user to the sudoers list first thing but there are plenty of 2-second video tutorials on how.

For both distros, if you are searching for support, you’d search “on Ubuntu” and basically the same would apply.

I think most people on Mastodon are over 30

I’m on Zorin(Ubuntu) and it’s an i5 Intel i believe

First the VM will freeze. Then my whole computer freezes. Then the VM closes and in the Virtual Box menu it says that Windows 11 aborted.

Yeah I have Debian on another VM and it runs with no problems

I’m going into a Medical Lab Tech program. I know 1 lab tech but he went to school in the 80’s. So I’m not sure what software they use now.

I’m using ZorinOS and I really like how simple it is and I want to support the project. If I upgrade to the Pro version then I get more desktop themes/options.

But I understand what you mean. I could just install for example Debian with KDE desktop and have more customizing options for free.
