The distros that 'just work' are typically referred to as beginner distros. Not that there is anything wrong with them, im running one myself. But those usually include Linux Mint and Ubuntu. These come with packages pre-installed to make your experience less of a pain to setup.
Nice, yeah AV Linux comes with a lot of pre-installed stuff so hoping it’s as easy as it seems :) I do like to tinker but not when I’m supposed to be doing other work haha
preinstalled stuff doesn't matter that much, as most of these just works distros come with GUI tools which you can use to install stuff just like you would do it in something like play store (search -> install -> enter password)
Fair. And I’m now addicted to installing things in CLI anyway, ‘cause Windows store is a buggy nightmare
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.
