I might be opening a can of worms here, but....

I have no PC. I use my work laptop for pretty much everything, but it's probably about time I finally get something of my own.

I have zero technical knowledge, and zero experience of anything that isn't Windows.

Question: is it possible to buy a ready-to-go Linux PC that doesn't need me to do fiddly stuff? (I define fiddly stuff as "most of what everyone toots about on Mastodon dot com".).
