From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

How does this compare for a user who "just wants things to work without terminal/CLI".
I've landed on Mint after trying a few other distros.
Pretty good tbh. I was torn between Zorin, PopOS and Mint and settled Zorin because it also syncs nice with Graphene/Android via the App. You can choose between Mac, Windows and other type of Desktop looks and don't need an Terminal if you don't want to
The sync looks to be a version of KDE connect. That I have running on Mint. I think I had to install it from the Mint software GUI though.
Zorin does look cool though. As easy as it is Mint/Cinnamon is a bit ugly out of the box.
