    The problem with that is Gentoo is not supposed to be easy to use, it is
    a "power user"'s distro. Sucking someone in with the guise of being like Windows is only likely to put them off Linux once they read page 1 of the installation instructions.

    There are distros that aim to be easy to use for Windows users, Gentoo is
    not one of them.

    Mint Linux with its Cinnamon desktop is probably what you want.

    Gentoo is typically for people who build their own machines
    & want to choose their own selection of software to install in them.

    Hi there,

    You mean Linux Mint with Cinnamon desktop LOOKS VERY MUCH like Windows 10/11?
