    It’s been twenty years since the first ease-of-use distros launched, the ones meant for noughts hempty end users. It’s long been basically trivial to install and use Linux without ever touching the terminal, especially if you’re one of the majority of people who spend almost all their time in browser/Electron apps. A basic Ubuntu or Mint is basically idiotproof. And if you can use an app store, you can use a package manager.

      I feel like every time I tell someone I know that I use linux mint, I’m coming across like I’m saying “I use Arch by the way” *eyebrow wiggle*

        Only if you’re using the flatpak, iirc. Snaps should update automatically and I’m pretty sure both Snaps and .debs can be updated through the Software GUI (i.e. right click > open with Software).
