the only plus it has is having a familiar GUI and a big community.
Those are exceptionally good plusses, though.
In fact, it’s the number one and number two requirements for easing the passage between systems, which is why I chose Zorin.

I’ve been told that exact thing dozens of times with different “just install it and it does everything for you” distro recommendations, and it hasn’t been the case with any of the ones I’ve tried.
I’m not saying that people are lying to me or anything like that, I just think that people underestimate how used they are to using Linux and thus overestimate how easy it is for people who aren’t.
Right now, I have Zorin OS on my laptop since that’s supposed to be THE easiest one for refugees from Windows to use, and while I’m liking it so far, I’m nowhere near being ready for it to replace Windows on my desktop yet.

I think the issue is not having a desktop-type computer at all and having a tablet/phone that’s so locked down the kid isn’t given the opportunity to explore or troubleshoot
True. That being said, I’m pretty sure that a Mac is roughly at the middle point between that and a Windows PC, with Linux users being way more tech savvy still.
In fact, the fact that so much exploration and troubleshooting is REQUIRED to make most if not all Linux distros do what you want is (along with game compatibility/availability) the main reason for many people who are sick of Windows to be hesitant to make the switch, myself included.

True. I’m not sure what’s worst: them meaning it none of the times (as you’d expect), or this weirdness being sincere and honest every time.
Ok, I was wrong. The latter is DEFINITELY worse 😬😄

And the crappy one you’ve only used when none of the better ones are available, at that 😄

Explorer tabs
Pretty sure that happened over a decade ago.
Terminal/ssh
Same
Quick restore
Same
autopilot
What even is that? A precursor to Copilot? If so, DEFINITELY doesn’t qualify.
Notepad tabs
If you’re not using Notepad++, you’re wrong and should be ashamed of yourself
Windows hello
Absolutely abominable and mandatory. A winning combination 😮💨
passkey support.
Which all of the competitors except maybe Apple’s walled gardens already had?
Face it: windows has seen at most a handful of positive changes since XP and at least a dozen as many negative ones just since 7.

They do, yes. I’m just doing a variant of the “I’m no geologist but (says things that have nothing to do with geology)” meme 😁

Absolutely!

I’m no lepidopterist, but from context I’d guess that it is indeed Nero.
A much maligned Roman emperor, Nero supposedly (but almost certainly not actually) haughtily played some instrument or the other during the Great Fire of Rome.
Hence, “burning a CD-ROM” is easily associated with him even though the story is almost certainly not true and “ROM” (read only memory) was the suffix of the CDs that COULDN’T be burned 🤷
