Fun fact: if you can smell the chloramines at a indoor pool, then their ventilation isn't good enough, or their pool isn't being operated correctly

I think it's funny that I didn't even find the Last Judge until the end of act 2, so it was a pretty easy boss in my playthrough
Back in maybe 2012-ish my friend built a new pc with some excessive amount of ram for the time. He had a small enough amount of stuff installed on it that he was able to just load the entire fs into ram, and just load anything off of it effectively instantly.
Maybe not exactly what you're looking for, but Wanderstop could fit the bill. It's a little unconventional, but to great effect; going in without too many preconceptions is probably the best way to play it.

Like a lot of people mentioned, there's a few good things you could start with, but C is probably not one of them. At my old job I ran a course for software engineer 2s to go over C, and even they had some struggles with it. If professional engineers struggle with C, it's maybe not the best starting point. Even C++ might be better, but still adds a lot of complexity that isn't necessary to know as immediately as the beginning.
Whenever people ask me where to start, I say python. It gives you a relatively tame taste of environment setup, and can run code very easily and flexibly. Its type system is flexible enough to make a user aware of it, without it being as rigid as C or as vague as javascript. Because there's enough libraries that are easy to pull in, even a beginner can start building useful programs without having to know how to build something equivalent to those libraries themselves.
Obviously if you want them to make websites, javascript will be necessary eventually, and isn't a bad place to start. If you're going purely for CS knowledge, I do think python is a little better; going from python to JS is probably easier than JS to python.
I thought I might have as well, but then I realized repeating the question word-for-word is there to help rule that out. It's not fool-proof, but a human would be a lot less likely to fall for it when reading the question with the explicit intent to make sure they don't miss, add, or misread any words.
There was a news segment that used that phrase verbatim. I couldn't find the clip with a cursory search, but I'm sure if you go digging for a hot second, you'll be able to find it.
My wife and I play a lot of games; my wife is also not super technical — she can get her way around some problems, but not deeper ones, and never uses the terminal, — and we've enjoyed bazzite quite a bit with almost no issues.
I also do development, and that's been fine as well.
