I was talking to my friends about the same topic yesterday and they didn't seem to bothered by it.
On a different note, even some music videos that are coming out these days have really suggestive content and Youtube puts this shit right in the front page (for a not signed in session).
We live in a world where people are getting too used to messed up stuff.
I really enjoyed my time with tumbleweed some time back. The installer has a lot of useful options but it might be a bit daunting to new users. The installer could use a UI/UX improvement.
Opensuse tumbleweed (Like fedora, but rolling release and has btrfs snapshots configured out of the box)
Endavour OS / vanilla arch ( if you want to configure everything manually)
NixOS (very different distro, you can configure your entire system with a single file)
People have a misconception that Linux Mint is a newbie distro but don't let that stop you from using it. It's quite stable and will serve you very well.
For Desktop Environment -
You can try out XFCE, it doesnt look great out of the box, but it has all the options you'll need to make it look to your liking.
Then there is also Cinnamon, it doesn't have many configuration options but is really nice in general. The flagship version of Linux Mint comes with Cinnamon.
