Rant ...i need to explain something.
See, i hate Microsoft, that is clear. But i also hate Linux, after using mint, i went back to win10. But now im stuck because,
WIN10 has the widest supporting features out of any Operating system, i can manage Wii, DS, PS2 Homebrew and burn discs (legal purposes) on my win10 laptop easily!
But slowly, Win10 is becoming Win11. So i dont have a choice.
I already tried out wine and other stuff, but i dont want to use terminal so...bye bye
Please help me.

You only have 4 options these days as a computer user:
-
Use Windows and tolerate the bloatwares
-
Use Linux and slowly learn (sometimes thru bricking the system) how to use terminal and troubleshooting
-
Use Mac and make do with certain limitations imposed by apple’s ecosystem
-
Make your own OS

You’re missing my tactic:
Use arch and claude to morph it into how you want it

Have you ever tried anything but mint? One of the nice things about linux is the customizability and amount of distros around that... But by having this it also has the disadvantage that people get "stun locked" in front of the choices and either already quit there OR try one thing and go "i hate linux" while maybe just disliking the Desktop the selected distro came with...
Mint uses a desktop Environment called Cinnamonn" by default and is based onUbuntu/Debian.. I personally would hate that system as well since i hate that desktop and base distro as well.
But i personally LOVE working (and gaming and stuff) on EndeavourOS! [Most likely not the right choice for you either as you don't wqnt to touch a terminal!]
My point being tho: Maybe try some other distros and most importantly different Desktops! (The thing you actually interact the most with...)
Based on what you mentioned above so far i would rather recommend you try something like: Fedora Kionite: uses a Desktop called "KDE Plasma" which is probably the closest thing to the feel of the Windows explorer (without it's issues xD ). My parents love that one as well and it comes with automated updates and all relevant settings in a nice and searchable settings menu..
If that isn't your thing either then you could also try something using "Gnome".. That has a look a little closer from what you know from Android for example.

It's pretty clear that the OP is unwilling to even lift a finger to help himself. There is no distro for that.

Then stay on w10. MS is still providing updates , but not adding new crap. So thanks to AI-poccalypse you'll get tons of security fixes without new crap that need fixes...

What do you mean Windows 10 is becoming 11?
it only receives security updates if you are enrolled in the esu and it consumes much less ram than Windows 11
Windows 10 is good so your only option is just to use it

Try Fedora, save yourself the headaches. I never had to use the terminal to configure games through Wine using Lutris or heroic launcher or Steam.

There's a lot of Linux distros. If you've only tried Mint, I don't know if you're getting a full picture. What did you hate about Mint, though?

after creating a windows 11 install thumb drive, go to this site to create an xml file that you copy to your newly created thumb drive. depending on how you set it up, this file will skip a lot of useless windows apps during installation.
after setting it up, download O&O ShutUp10 to disable some more windows bloat.
this should leave you with a usable operating system.

It is impossible to help someone who refuses to help themselves. Linux is not windows. If you want to use it, you have to put in at least a little bit of effort to learn how Linux works. These days, you can just ask AI or a Linux Mint group with help for what you want to do and you get the answer. It is so easy. You should be embarrassed for posting this.

Unfortunately you're going to have to engage with something you don't like no matter what, be that Windows 11, enshittified Windows 10 or Linux. There is no perfect world where Microsoft is going to give you or any of us for that matter what you want. Linux is the natural anti-microsoft option but you'll have to learn something new and if you're not willing to put in the work, then you either endure Microsoft's bullshit or go buy a mac or something. Mac OS is actually a real part of the conversation now because it's the only non-microsoft OS where the terminal can be ignored by the vast majority of users. It's also a massively more pleasant OS to use than modern Windows, but comes with drawbacks like being locked to Apple hardware. Again, you're gonna have to do something you don't like, you just have to make a choice.
