PlzGivHugsWhat would you say is the most, "it just works" distro?
No one ever seems to recommend PCLinuxOS (PCLOS) despite it being around since 2003 and created by Bill Reynolds. It is my go-to distro when someone asks me to choose and install Linux for them for the first time. I get the fewest follow-up phone calls of all the “beginner” (not bleeding edge) distros I’ve tried.
