From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Full on GUI for what? Server/ clients?
If you need all GUI tools on a server you might want to try OpenSUSE Leap, it has full GUI (Yast2-GUI-GTK) tools for administering network, Firewalld, services, users, shares, LDAP, filesystem snapshots. Also has AutoYast for saving off server and software config and redeploying on another server. YAST software also lets you select packages to install with check boxes, and other click options to lock/hold a package, upgrade, delete etc. While seeing the versions as radio buttons that can be selected. Takes all commandline work out of the equation.

terminal server as in individual user logins to a desktop environment for internet access. So locked down, RDP access (using XRDP at the moment on a test proxmox image)
Ah, i skimmed over termserver the first time. Both Mint and Zorin are very Windows like. And Zorin is developing GRID, when released is supposed to be a deploy / management tool for IT caring that is caring for multi client installs.
For ease of deploying and locking down a client, maybe microOS or nixOS, both have the build from config file setup.
