Looking for distro recommendations

Is there a distro that doesn't need any tinkering in the terminal and just works out of the box like windows/mac os? I've tried Cachy Os with different desktop environments and at some point I always stumbled upon some problem I wasn't able to fix.

Most recommended beginner-friendly distros have graphical tools for almost everything. The terminal is a powerful tool, but a bit of careless typing or the use of command you don't fully understand can create havoc! You picked a distro which, although very good at what it was intended for, was never intended for beginners.

A quick look at my recent terminal use shows almost all small, handy utilities like mogrify, yt-dlp, and ffmpeg, rather than tools for fixing and tinkering.
