Cmon, this might have been true 15 years ago, but my grandma has been using Mint for 5 years + and TRUST ME she don’t know shit about Bash.
Big distros work OOTB today, as soon as you stick to regular use you’ll never see a shell in your life.
I revived an old computer using Mint, and it works great, but that’s for my brother who just browses and does spreadsheet and writing. I’m a bit more involved with how I use a computer and it is difficult enough to setup a wireless Xbox controller that I am considering automating it for future use and make that public. Note that I know fuck all about how to even begin, and I might give up halfway through, but the point stands that the motivation was triggered by a lack of user friendliness.

At a certain point, though, you have to wonder whether a traditional desktop linux distro is better than just preinstalled ChromeOS on a Chromebook.
