For average user looking for more out of the box experience I would suggest something Arch based (people in comments suggest EndeavourOS, please do your research). Archlinux installation took me quite some time
A simple install of Debian + GNOME install (with all the defaults, easier to install than Windows) will provide you with a useful store that can even load flatpaks… and there’s nothing that easy an practical on the KDE land.
Almost everything works out of the box, by just installing corresponding package
^No extra package required
Wine is great!
No it isn’t. It is a piece of shit that does a garbage of a job to get Windows application to “run”. It doesn’t run old/basic applications well nor does it run useful modern applications such as MS Office without constant glitches and hours of hacking around
TL:DR; the Linux experience might be great but it isn’t for everyone and anyone. If you need to do your job and not constantly be dealing with small annoyances that will curb your productivity it isn’t, most likely, for you.
