You can customize the interface: http://www.noobslab.com. Mint is a great operating system, though I often thought its design was less appealing than Ubuntu. As someone who prefers macOS aesthetics, I appreciate seeing similar looks on Mac.
Suggesting alternatives often sparks debate, especially when comparing to popular choices. Windows 10 can be quite lightweight if you simplify it. A custom-built x86 device could perform well on it. I previously mentioned Mint as a solid pick—it’s user-friendly and offers most of Ubuntu’s features without strict constraints. It works well for all experience levels. Also, don’t assume beginners will face challenges; CLI is inherently more accessible than any graphical interface.
Mint MATE is my top choice. It doesn’t seem bad at all, though it might not be as eye-catching. Adjusting the interface isn’t really a major change on Linux.
For everyday internet use in a browser, Ubuntu or its lighter versions work fine. If you're aiming for more flexibility—especially for web browsing or other tasks—Mint offers better options. Those accustomed to Windows and not very tech-savvy might find the command line interface confusing, so it's best avoided if possible.
It seems like you're wondering about the name of the site. It might be called Noobs Lab.
They quickly grasp commands and can achieve far more than a graphical interface would allow. However, I still don’t suggest Ubuntu (Xbuntu and lighter versions are distinct) for anything, since people who want to expand their skills will have learned it the Ubuntu way, which isn’t particularly helpful outside of that environment.
