> t’s still too confusing for the average user (many distros, many desktop environments, Wayland vs X, systemd vs init, snap vs flatpak).

Average users need to buy hardware with a suitable distro installed. Usually that means Ubuntu. Its a decision that should be taken for them

With regard to DEs - Gnome for touch devices, KDE for mouse and keyboard driven ones. Both set up to be Windows like by default.

The average user is never even going to know whether they are running Wayland or systemd or snap. They will never change the default.
