    For casual users I would suggest Pop!_OS or Linux Mint.

    A distro for casual users would include lots of pre-existing (possibly opinionated) configuration, graphical tools for config, a graphical installer with automatic partitioning, and ready-made package managers. It minimises interaction with a terminal as much as possible. It is still very useful to get comfortable with interacting with a terminal, understanding the file system structure of Linux, and getting your head around the standard userland tools (GNU Coreutils, your package manager, and your init system which is probably systemd) - but you should be able to avoid this for now with distros like Pop!_OS or Linux Mint, and even when you do become comfortable with these things they are both still excellent distros.

    Fedora is excellent but I wouldn’t call it a casual/beginner distro. Ubuntu is tricky because it is fairly easy to use, but the direction the distro has gone is concerning (others may disagree but going all-in on Snap was a dumb idea). I can’t think of any other obviously casual distros with a huge base.
