What is the Most Intuitive OS?

[Nanook]

Although I have learned Windows over the years, I never really felt that it was intuitive. Recently I have been thinking about trying out Linux, but I would like something as intuitive as possible. Some tell me that a super intuitive OS that anyone can understand is impossible, but continuously quest after such a unicorn anyways.

 

So what is the most intuitive OS out there?

Windows xp was pretty intuitive.

Honestly, if all you are trying to do is some basic tasks, chromeos might be a viable option. It has really limited functionality but it is very simple to use. Another option is macos as it just works and all the basic things most people do are very easy and intuitive.

Linux Lite is a Windows "feeling" version of linux, its probably one of my favorites because it works right out of the box without any tinkering. It also can run on a machine with 768MB of RAM and a 1GHz CPU.

Depends on how you use your PC. Windows is kinda bad for shortcuts and productivity, but general use is probably more beginner friendly than most things. Case sensitivity can be unintuitive for first time users on linux, for example.

most people dont use terminal, and for GUI is a non-problem imho

wrong question really, what you are asking for is a Desktop Environment.

KDE is the most windows like, Gnome the most mac like, and in between you have literally tens of different ones, most notable Cinnamon, LXQT (basically LXDE), MATE, XFCE.. on youtube you will find some showcase for each one, you just have to pick one
