@TerminalAutism @charliebrownau @coin @furgar I think Void Linux might be close to ideal to beginners.
Easy installation, not bleeding edge, rolling release, similar to BSD while still using the Linux kernel, lightweight, and so on.
Just write a few GUI frontends, and it should be fine.

Note that I said "beginners" instead of "normies".
Beginner = uses computers because he's genuinely interested in learning and understanding.
Normie = uses computers just because they have to, then they found some cool stuff online, and demand computers to be adjusted to their tiny braincells, fucking it all up for everyone.

Normies should be better off just playing ball outside or some shit.
