Top 20 Linux distributions
It is strange this guy missed Debian Linux, Big Daddy of all Linux derivatives.
In recent years, Linux distributions have become increasingly user-friendly, making them an appealing choice for new and experienced users alike. With so many options available, it can be challenging to determine which distribution is right for you.
To help you make an informed decision, we've compiled a list of the top 20 user-friendly Linux distributions that cater to a wide range of needs and preferences.
Ubuntu
Arguably the most popular Linux distribution, Ubuntu is renowned for its ease of use, vast software repository, and strong community support. It offers a clean, modern interface with the GNOME desktop environment (not really), making it an ideal choice for those transitioning from Windows or macOS.
Not for me.
It made a mess in Wayland and disappeared into thin air.
I do not recommend it to a newbie.
Linux Mint
A close contender to Ubuntu, Linux Mint is known for its familiar, Windows-like interface built on the Cinnamon desktop environment. It provides an intuitive and polished user experience, along with excellent multimedia support and a robust software manager.
It has two problems.
Violate Linux principles and add proprietary code.
It has now moved to Debian.
I recommend Debian Mint.
Fedora
Sponsored by Red Hat, Fedora is a cutting-edge distribution that features the latest technologies and software packages. With its GNOME desktop environment and a focus on innovation, Fedora is a great choice for developers and tech enthusiasts.
This is the worst to use (I won't elaborate any more, let the user discover himself or herself) but better go for SuSe
openSUSE
With its unique YaST configuration (Yast is no longer its configuration tool) tool, openSUSE offers a powerful yet user-friendly experience for both beginners and advanced users. Available in two editions—Leap (stable) and Tumbleweed (rolling release)—openSUSE caters to different user preferences.
Read my comments elsewhere in this blog place.
It has a different tool for YAST.
Manjaro
Manjaro is a user-friendly Arch Linux-based distribution that offers a simplified installation process, rolling release model, and access to the Arch User Repository (AUR). It supports multiple desktop environments, including Xfce, KDE, and GNOME.
I strogly Disagree.
It has become tool of Israelite and instead of using StuxNet, this distribution is used for spying. I won't install it in my unit.
Zorin OS
Designed specifically for newcomers to Linux, Zorin OS boasts a Windows-like interface and an intuitive user experience. It is based on Ubuntu, offering compatibility with its vast software library and support resources.
This is the worse distribution to fallback
Elementary OS
With its macOS-inspired design, Elementary OS is an elegant and lightweight distribution based on Ubuntu. It features the custom-built Pantheon desktop environment and a curated selection of apps, ensuring a cohesive and streamlined experience.
The woman who promoted this distribution has no understanding of how Linux operates.
It is stuck at 8.1 for ages.
Pop!_OS
Developed by System76, Pop!_OS is a sleek, performance-oriented distribution based on Ubuntu. It features a customized GNOME desktop environment and is optimized for productivity and gaming, making it an excellent choice for power users.
Same comments I made for Ubuntu applies here.
Do not use it.
Solus

Minimal and i have not tested it.
Deepin
Hailing from China, Deepin is a stylish and user-friendly distribution that features a custom-built Deepin Desktop Environment (DDE). It offers an intuitive interface, a robust software center, and excellent out-of-the-box support for multimedia codecs.
Do not fall to Chinese trap and good looking Desktop appearance.
This is the only desktop I could not mount ion ARCH and Reborn.
Code is different and the desktop is heavy on RAM .
I do not recommend it.

It has woken up from slumber.

This comes from New Zealand.
It is based on Ubuntu and i do not recommend, hence.
Lacks software.

During 64 bit era it sunk and never recovered.
