Is there a version of Linux that's as easy to use as Windows?

One thing that puts me off of switching to Linux for security reasons is that it's not as user-friendly as Windows.

I really want to switch to Linux but it just feels so difficult to use compared to Apple or Windows.

I remember Ubuntu to be pretty simple to navigate. It was many years ago, but I vividly remember myself thinking that it's a lot friendlier than I thought it would be.

I heard Linux Mint is pretty user-friendly, although the general advice I've heard about Linux is that ones that try to just copy Windows tend not to be very good. Supposedly, Linux Mint isn't like that, but does have the same user-friendliness in terms of hot keys and navigation.

Honestly a lot of distros are hobby distros, if you need something enterprise ready download Red Hat, it's the stable version. Fedora is like testing version of Red Hat, it has all the newest features but they basically beta test everything on Fedora users before adding features on stable Red Hat .

Debian stable or testing is an old reliable (even though it's community based, not corporation) but it got worse over the years, I used to be Debian stable user but not so sure anymore.

Also get usb key and install Ventoy on it. A lot of distros have live versions that you can run without installing, this way you can check if you like the interface and if you do run the installer later.
