@wanwizard And to give you some gauge of my knowledge, I just KINDA know what Gnome is and have certainly never considered not using a default desktop GUI. No idea what XFCE is (mentioned by the guy recommending #voidlinux).
I’ve been a Mac guy since 1984 and really just expect things to work. So every Linux is painful for me, but I have needs only it will meet.

@crow I personally find Mac even worse than Windows, in that the manufacturers decide what is good for you. I understand that for the average "user", that comes across as "it just works", which is true, as long as you want to use what the vendor is pushing to you. I also understand that things are different for long term / experienced users, ths issue I had was it being called a "slop jackfest" without any elaboration whatsoever. And that smells like personal pet peeves to me...
