I kinda get that feeling..i also used to think its unintuitive/complicated. Nowadays i love it, but I also dont mind investing a bit of time to troubleshoot every once in a while. It has been a pretty stable experience on PopOS though.

But also there are different levels for sure. i guess Mint would be a fairly uncomplicated choice?

Edit: i also just realized this is all about windows here. I got a bit lost and will see myself out..
