I find it funny that no one recommends MXLinux or Manjaro. In my opinion. both are easier and better set up than any of the *Buntu children
I will have to test them out but I mostly use RHEL based distros for various reasons. It has been a while since I ran something like Ubuntu/Mint. I would normally just use base Debian rather than something like that.
Shit man, I'd actually argue that Fedora is easier than some Ubuntu variants (base included). Ubuntu is fucking hosed now on all ends. The Kernel is a Frankenstein that crashes because the day ends with a Y, and Snaps are not only slow but install multiple copies of dependencies for no other reason than Fuck You.
That is possible too but the ubuntu base's have a very large "desktop user" community and many org's build packages for them because of that. I don't care about building my own apps from source or creating my own RPM's but it is not for the "daily" typical user that mostly wants to read news and check email.
