Hello all,

I would like to transition my GF to linux.

To make the switch easy I’ll go for Ubuntu, but what would be the most windows-like desktop ?

Thank you!

Edit : thank you everyone, I’ll go with Mint instead then 👍 Thanks for the help!

    Go Kubuntu if you want Ubuntu and Windows-like. Otherwise, Mint is a solid choice for a Windows user too, I believe Mate and Cinnamon both are very similar UI to Windows. Sadly Mint only does LTS versions now, but maybe that’s for the best if your GF isn’t super into tech?

      You can install the 6.2 kernel on mint through the upgrade manager gui. It’s just a couple of clicks.

      On the other hand Mint has a reputation for “just works” because the defaults are indeed LTS
