I second the recommendation of giving Linux Mint a shot. I didn't use XP extensively but Mint is low hassle and gets out of your way.

I'm not sure it has quite the same feel, but closest I can think of that is also approachable coming from Windows. Obviously a lot of other distros also satisfy the "built by engineers" vibe.

Linux Mint is definitely the closest interface- and vibes-wise to XP imo, of the big distros worth considering

Mint is the usual recommendation for transitioning from windows to Linux.

I'll second this. Start with Mint or Pop!_OS

Any distro and a theme. Mate and XFCE work well for that style. Mint and LXQT maybe too.

Zorin OS is a linux distro designed partly to feel like Windows

Britec09 from the video there is quite skeptical - sounds like he prefers ShutUp10. With Atlas, he worries about large security impacts for small FPS gains.

Good watch, thank you!
