Unpopular opinion: people new to Linux should chose or be introduced to atomic distros for their resistance against user fuckups. Whatever the fuck you do, there is ALWAYS a backup snapshot waiting to be booted.

Flathub behaves like ms store, linuxbrew like chocolatey, teach users that they no longer install apps by downloading them from web and we are golden? Oh, and system and app updates are invisible to the user, MacOS-like convenience!
