And if you want a really comfy desktop where you never have to use the command line except for if you want to, you should get openSUSE (because it has this amazing YaST software).

And if you want a desktop that doesn't treat you like a dimwit toddler and isn't all preachy about what you are allowed to do or not, go for KDE. Which you can also configure "like macOS" with stuff like the Latte Dock.

I used Linux Mint for over a year and never had to use the command line. I think the same is true for most of the "consumer facing" distros out there.

YaST is really a special case, but I think you don't have to have YaST in your Toolbelt to configure the stuff on an "average" system.

YaST is really great nontheless.

What do I do?

Benjamin maybe, but honestly, I do use a remote Linux machine for coding. That's only terminal. I honestly don't think Linux is a good fit for end-users. It is good for devs and other geeks. ;)
