This but new Linux users. They get attracted to the worse newbies distros every time

What’s the best one, apart from Mint?

The typical advice is:

  • Mint
  • ElementryOS
  • Fedora
  • Pop!
  • Ubuntu (unpopular with Extremely Online people, but is pretty good at the Just Works for normies)

Fedora

really? I haven’t touched regular fedora, how is the “vanilla” version different to derivities and other “vanilla” distros like debian or arch?

Fedora’s philosophy is free software only. So vanilla Fedora ships with FOSS only. Imo, they’re really good at this, but I personally couldn’t live with that. The community maintained fusion repository is essential because of Nvidia drivers and full ffmpeg. Steam is in a separate non-free repo as well.
Other than than tidbit, Fedora is easy to install, well maintained, has a large community and wide third party support (as in software devs often build “native fedora” binaries available on their repo).
I prefer it to any other Fedora based distro, but for the reason above, it may not be best suited for the average lemming.
