Where did you find this overview?

Second this. Wanted Linux as Windows user. Currently on Linux Mint, got it a few months now. Really easy to use, and allows you to experiment with the console if you’d like to, but almost never necessary. So far, I haven’t encountered any problems with it (apart from a total lock-out while trying some weird shit in the console with printer drivers, but printers are evil anyway, so I’ll give it a pass for now lmao)

This could also be seen as a form of misinformation. CNN can technically say “Yeah, but if you read the entire article…”, of which they know many people won’t.
