   MINT and some others are indeed "user/newbie friendly".
   What most people want/need, it's already configured
   and smooth. Granny can do her web and web mail and
   surf and play videos No Problems right Out-Of-The-Box.

   This should be the default for ALL Linux distros
   except maybe Slack (intended as a guru distro)

   Still strongly rec MX ... best-balanced and smart.
   Of late ALL of my boxes have become MX. Did have
   a couple of Manjaro boxes, but the updates totally
   crapped out, so ...

   DO have OSuse and GhostBSD in VBox on one unit, but
   that's running under the newest MX host. Had BAD
   experience with F46 ... none of the update mechanisms,
   GUI or CL, seemed to work right - always hung. Have
   several mini-boxes, BMax and BeeLink, which are kinda
   like cheap laptops. More than snappy enough for Linux.

   (note that current, tariff, PRICES for those little boxes
   has become kinda a bad deal. Hell, can't even get a PI-5
   kit for less than like $250 USD right now. The 'fruity'
   PI clones are also expensive and NOT 100% compatible. Did
   buy a bare Pi-3 for a special project, but even that was
   more expensive than anticipated). BBBs still seem kinda
   'reasonable', but those are kinda weird. DO have a 10
   relay add-on board for BBBs ... theoretically good for
   a variety of automation projects I'll never get to. )
