I've had an Ender 3 v1 and v2, and enjoyed them. They were perfectly fine for what I did, but I spent a good percentage of time with them printing parts to make them better. Recently bought a Hi with the CFS, and have had almost no problems. The only problems I've had would be non-existent if I'd clean the bed more often. I personally think the Hi would be a good starter printer.

Exactly. And if you use a desktop like Cinnamon or KDE Plasma, it really isn't that different, other than how you install software. I fully believe anyone can use it. Especially since the majority of computer users tend to only use them for browsing the web, email and light gaming. The learning curve is minimal.

Yes, Mint uses Cinnamon desktop by default, which I believe was forked from Gnome. I like it, although I'm using Kubuntu at the moment. Cinnamon has that Windows-y look and feel to it, and retains some of the Gnome advantages.

I've had good luck with several Lenovo laptops. ThinkPads and IdeaPads. Everything but the fingerprint readers just works.

Try Distro Hopping. Then, next week when you switch to yet another distro, you can just erase the entire disk and install Linux.

May I ask why you prefer that over Google Drive, or others such as Dropbox or Mega? I used it extensively when I used Windows, but that's been several years.

I wish my employer (state government) would use Linux. But unfortunately, they are all in with Microsoft. Everything has gone that way. SharePoint, Microsoft hosted Exchange, OneDrive, etc... And it's as horrible as you can imagine. It's awesome when I can't access my personal files because Microsoft servers are down. And don't get me started on the CrowdStrike fiasco!
