From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I suppose PopOS is the best call for him
Thanks for the suggestion. Is it possible to avoid the console on PopOS? Can you setup everything by UI?
Yes. With PopOs you can do pretty much everything by UI
System76 is a laptop manufacturer that uses its own system, called PopOS. So they're aiming to be totally user friendly with the distro
For gaming, yes. 100% GUI. Not even codecs or the like.
Walk him through the GNOME paradigm, it could be a let down or a game changer it depends on their needs.
