    Install Linux Mint with the GUI installer a la windows, done.

    You are factually wrong unless you specify a distro. But even arch has arch install now.

      Does the audio work? Including the microphone?

      What about the Nvidia drivers? Wifi drivers? Printer drivers?

      Maybe it works when you don’t do anything with your computer, but most people aren’t like that. Linux just really requires you to tinker more than other OSes. Sometimes that is a good thing, but never for a non-techy.

      You will just have to come to terms with that.

        I have never had to worry about wifi drivers, and my microphone has always worked out of the box with my computer.

        Proprietary nvidia drivers are a bit trickier, but mostly painless.

        Printers work flawlessly for me, I have a modern cheap hp printer, so I had low expectations, but my laptop running mint can print and scan with the built in applications.
