Ahh I forgot Linux Mint! Should have put it in there or maybe Pop!_OS. Debian is fantastic for servers of course.
Mint has always been my go-to grandma-friendly system. I remember using it when I was in my single-digit years. Most intuitive operating system ever. :)
To be honest, I think most people should start with Linux Mint. So good. I don't even have to think much after installing.

I started out with Elementary, then went the typical "I use Arch BTW" route (and for a time, Gentoo), and right now I'm happy and content with Fedora's simplicity

I'm using MX Linux for a couple of years, it fills my need.
all roads lead to ubuntu
It seems like a lot of linux users are fond of jumping around different distros, do they all automate the setup process with a bash file that installs and configures everything quickly? 🙃
I think so. That, as well as putting /home on a different partition in order to just replace the OS but not lose data
