From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

OpenSuse Leap. In YaST (its system settings tool) you can do everything from a GUI. No cli, no config files, no tinkering.
I tried openSUSE Tumbleweed, and neither Brave nor ThinLinc Server showed up in the YaST search.
go to Yast -> Software Repositories and add the Brave Repo. Now you can install it in Yast Package Manager.

You can also install it with "opi" from terminal: "sudo opi brave"
This makes it a nonstarter. I can do that, but my wife isn't going to, so then she's stuck waiting on me.
Thank you for the insight, though. I like the thought of a system that keeps itself up to date, so I may play with this some for myself.
Maybe try out MX Linux. It has a bunch of GUI Tools preinstalled. With MX Installer you can install Brave and even Flatpaks.
