      It’s been a few years since I used Mint, but I enjoyed it. Most of the Debian-based distros are very similar, actually. All are decent for beginners. If not Mint, Pop is another good option.

          I installed Zorin on my wife’s (=no prior Linux experience) laptop something like 2 years ago. Considering the fact that she still uses it almost daily, I’d say you’re right.

          Personally, I dislike some of the custom stuff it has over the more standard desktop environments, but I do think it’s great for usability in that it feels Windows-adjacent.

      • I did that prior and decided I like it, so I did a proper install. I just didn’t try the sound jacks and didn’t notice one of my drives not mounting.
