The thing I often come across with mainstream linux distros, latest ubuntu typically, that renders them not worth recommending to normies (nor even for me, that's why I ended up building my own debian based live install lately), is the freaking LAG (all caps, and I mean it) when you open a window by double clicking on a directory

It's crazy, you have sometimes a 1.5 second lag between the click and the moment the directory opens, it's unacceptable these days, wrecks my nerves when I'm busy

Believe it or not it's still an issue with ubuntu last time I tried on a LTS (bionic beaver and also the latest one if memory serves, the piece of crap with a panther) ... And the worst part is that it doesn't do it on that old ass 16.something LTS

...

Don't know if you ever encountered that issue?

I definitely saw the lag issue when I installed Ubuntu on my old MacBook before it died, but I wasn't sure if it was the distro or the hardware. I bought a Chromebook to experiment on (damned write-protect screws) and settled on Chromium after playing with a few others. There's no real lag on it but a definite mouse flicker. I'm nowhere near the level you're at so I'm just trying different version until I find one I like.
