Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility.

MODERATORS
First step: Decide on the so-called desktop environment. A shortlist is provided below. For a new user, this should be decisive when choosing between beginner-friendly distros.
Before going over to the next (and final) step, we need to set the stage for our contenders:
Final step: Pick the distro corresponding to your preferred desktop environment. The list found below (ordered alphabetically) isn't trying to be exhaustive on desktop environments.
I wouldn't go uBlue personally. It is very new and I don't like the focus. Don't go straight to immutable Linux.
My first foray into Linux was through what you'd refer to as immutable Linux; shortly after the release of Fedora Kinoite. I'm literally the embodiment of the antithesis to your statement.
This is factually true. So I can't simply deny that. But being more precise is helpful:
Could you be more elaborate 😜?
They will get a little more respect from me when they stop trying to target programmers and gamers. Because of course everyone uses Steam and VScode. It just feels very much like it is being run by young edgy programmers. It is the same group that is trying to force crappy "dark mode" everywhere.
What's the bigger program is the lack of internet knowledge about how to fix problems. With Ubuntu and Debian there are tons of stack overflow pages on all of the various issues. Sure things have changed over time but it still the most documented distro. I can look up "how do I fix X Linux Mint" and I will get an answer. With the Bazzite immutable base almost all of the help online will be useless.
So in short I wouldn't recommend something like Bazzite. Immutable Linux requires that you understand Linux under the hood. Also I am strongly against distros that need to market themselves as gaming.
