On that same note,of reducing the barriers for Linux usage.

Would it be possible to create a Zorin OS USB drive that after inserting it into the USB drive of a laptop:

The user would get a running Linux, with the UX they know(win 10/11), with full speed and full capabilities - without installation ?

It's so nice to see installfests still happening in the Linux community - I have fond memories of running many of them 25 years ago.

As for the distributions mentioned, the points are definitely sage, but I would argue that the Flatpak-centered Fedora Silverblue is the best distribution for beginners, and that the sentence "...but the system can be potentially more unstable than Debian" is no longer true nowadays.

I remember organizing Linux install parties at my university (University of Lille (1), in France), each year for like 3 to 4 consecutive years.

It was always a pleasure to meet new people and explain how basically "their computer is working" and how they can free from Windows.

The most interested person at that time was a 55 years old woman who knew nothing in computer. I installed Ubuntu on its computer and she came the next year with strong system knowledge for a linux-newbie, and the same laptop... with Debian in it!

That just sounds like a live USB?
