If you want a more curated experience that takes a lot of the rough edges off Linux: https://bazzite.gg

Bazzite isn't going to be as flexible as some other distros, but it's goal is to make the Linux transition as easy as possible. It's aimed primarily at gamers but you'll get a full OS that you can do all the normal stuff on

You can't perform all the usual tasks with it; it's a limited, immutable Arch derivative.

Edit: Not arch but fedora.

you might be thinking of the new KDE distro. bazzite is fedora silverblue based. iirc there's access to flatpak homebrew, as well as rpm-ostree (basically rpm) among others

You are right :)

For regular people that just want gaming and a web browser it's fine. It would drive people like us nuts, but they aren't gonna care.

It can load into a desktop environment by default and you can install Flatpacks, and it comes setup for gaming out of the box. That's enough for 90% of people.
