I’ve got a full on linux nerd desktop machine - alpine linux, i3 window manager, rofi, the works. I enjoy it but it’s was a PITA to set up. Meanwhile my laptop has windows 11 and I missed linux software, so I decided to put a “user friendly” distro on there just to get up and running ASAP.

Put Fedora KDE on there and it was usable immediately. Everything worked out of the box - brightness, volume, wifi, power management. Every time I wanted to tweak KDE I’d just search for the thing I wanted to tweak in the menu and… there it was! Didn’t have to read documentation about a config file, was all very discoverable. Seriously KDE feels like what the windows UI wants to be when it grows up, really pleasant. Might have to put it on my desktop too!

If any Linux noobs out there are reading this - I’d definitely recommend checking Fedora out. The other big distro out there for beginners is Ubuntu, but I feel Fedora has much better package management.
