What about Mint or PopOS? Also I don't agree with your definition of "ready". The stigma around the terminal must go! the current state of linux on ANY popular distro is: everyting can be done via GUI but some things are just easier to do in the terminal and it's not linux's faulth that terminal is just so good

There's no stigma with the terminal, the terminal isn't bad, I love the terminal.

However, it's not grandma friendly. It never will be. You need to think less about your preferences and more about a truly novice user. Most people don't want to tinker with their machines, they just want it to work.

There are plenty of distros out there that fit that criteria, Mint, Manjaro, EndeavourOS. You can do everything a normal user would do from a GUI.
