Slackware user here, but my hubby does all the matinence... He has set Linux up for many of my friends (helps them when ever they need it). He is a nurse by trade, but loves computer stuff as a hobby. Linux is totally worth learning!!!!
In 1994 I was using a multiuser multitasking OS with a virtual desktop (olvwm).
My friends were using DOS with the Windows program.
In 1995 I switched to Debian for dselect (package management)
Dselect was about a decade ahead of it's time
Then I switched to Ubuntu. Ubuntu handled the proprietary stuff better.
IMO the .deb package system is the overall best.
In the early days Slackware was a clumsy upgrade.
I prefer Slackware (I have used Ubuntu, Mint and others), but it could be because I don't really have to deal with the updates/upgrades myself lol!!! I think my husband kind of likes the challanges of Slackware.
There is a little text based package manager called 'dselect'.
It is absolutely amazing, considering it is 25 years old.
It is one of the original debian package managers.
It is still a workhorse today.

I'll show this to my hsband! He might already know about it, but maybe not :)
