Ubuntu remains a top choice for many due to its stability and user-friendly interface.

The installation of Pop!_OS via USB failed, likely because of a hardware issue.
Choose alternatives such as Manjaro Linux Mint Cinnamon Zorin OS Linux Lite for a Windows transition.
I rely on Xubuntu every day; it works well despite being a bit minimal. Kubuntu looks more attractive but performs equally well on any system from the last five years, possibly better. Which devices are causing this problem? You might encounter the same trouble with other Linux distributions based on Ubuntu or Debian as well.
I set up Windows 10 with UEFI using a USB flash drive previously. Perhaps that's why Pop!_OS isn't installing? I'm now trying to install it on an external SSD.
What version of the OS are you using? UEFI or legacy? Should secure boot be enabled or disabled? In reality, I’d prefer Ubuntu over any of its versions, as most Ubuntu-based distros are much more selective about hardware compatibility compared to straight-up Ubuntu. To this point, I still don’t understand why people suggest Mint—it doesn’t offer any advantages over Ubuntu and often won’t boot on around half the hardware it supports.
Linux Mint or ZorinOS are great options. Kubuntu is also a solid choice.
Mx Linux and ZorinOS perform poorly together with secure boot. If he truly needs Linux, he must turn off secure boot. Otherwise, he can stick to Fedora, Manjaro, Linux Mint, or any Ubuntu variant, along with Slack.
ElementaryOS (https://elementary.io) appears impressive, and the App Center stands out as a top choice for app deployment on Linux.
