the distro is made in such a way that you can install like you would on windows (double-clicking an EXE installs it through compatibility layers)
This is a terrible idea. Compatibility layers add new bugs that weren't present in the original software plus it's a resource hog. Not to mention that WINE is susceptible to viruses targeting Windows too. Newbies better off using Mint or Pop and sticking to native linux applications when possible.
