I must disagree with you. I have been installing Linux for people who barely know how to use a mouse and the experience was always successful. Of course, I choose a distro with simple UI and software with GUI every time. I don't want to get into the typical "if my mom gets it everyone can" (also because she is a power user) but trust me, the people I installed it for had the same problems they would have had with any OS (some quite funny).

I attempted to but the driver support just wasn’t there for my laptop.

WSL2 works fine and it also means that when I want to game I have a wider selection of games to play.

Yup, I'm not a gamer anymore and when I was I used a PS, true.

Anyhow, my target initiating Linux to wasn't precisely gamers either.

What is your preferred distro?

It's been Xubuntu for almost a decade, I think. I tried Lubuntu but, at least at the time, it had no pulse audio which wasn't great. I tried Budgie but it has some paper cut bugs that I couldn't live with (some might).
