Welp… My mom is apparently done with windows (yay!) Anf wants me to move her laptop to Linux (oh nooo). I personally use Ubuntu studios but im not sure what to get for her. She is getting her masters in nursing online so it def needs to be able to accommodate that. Do y’all have any suggestions on where to start? TIA
Zorin or Mint.
Zorin is a bit more dumbed down, so there is no way for normal people to do anything wrong and a lot of things work just like they would expect them to. What really shocked me is when my dad downloaded some exe from the internet, double clicked it, installed and ran the software… On the other hand, when he had a specific wish, there was no way to change that, even though there are other distros/de’s where I know you can.
But mint is also very good for people that come from windows. No personal experience with it though.
if you haven’t tried mint you should. I had similar opinions about kde neon that you seem to have about Zorin, but I’ve completely dropped recommending neon because mint is just insanely well curated.
wine is literally in every distro’s repos.
Thats not the point.
I’ve got Zorin on an old laptop and it is definitely easy. I’m going to try that .exe thing!
