@nprofile1q... My recommendation is to look towards Android apps for the switch. Android arguably has a better selection of apps, and the current version includes a reference desktop GUI! So libre Android distros should lead to better results in the long term.
"Desktop Linux" isn't a real thing; its more of a mirage for techies who revere Unix. Skills learned by non-techies at the GUI level are non-transferrable to other Linux systems. Consumer expectations and Unix fandom are not compatible.
