I would probably recommend Endeavour. While it has some CLI work every now and then, it's not something that I consider insurmountable. I am just your average nerd and I started out with SuSE 5 before 2000. Everything was CLI back then. You got to a GUI (startx) to run an office suite and a music/video player. In comparison Endeavour is a walk in the park. Also a good graphical package manager is a "yay -S bauh" away.
I've been running Endeavour for over two years now and I must say that it has been a pretty painless ride. No major bugs. The EndeavourOS Welcome app is a convenient and easy starting point for managing your system. It really takes the first sting out of CLI operations, while presenting it as something doable. A very soft introduction to Linux's most powerful tool.
Is it for every newbie? No. Absolutely not. It's definitely for people who want to work their computer. If you rather push the button and then have the OS babysit you, maybe forego Linux altogether. Linux is a power tool and it's philosophy for the most part is "You know best". A modicum of knowledge makes using it a far better experience.
