I need to install an OS for someone whose first impulse upon seeing a screen is to touch it, because they are young and their first assumption is a touchscreen.
They know their way around Windows and Windows is probably tought to them at school, so Windows might actually be the smart move… but I fucking hate it.
Is ZorinOS or similar polished enough that I can leave it to someone whose tech literacy is centered around Roblox, TikTok and evading parental locks? I don’t want to normalize the Windows-bullshit. But I don’t want their first Linux-experience to be frustrating.
Mint, Trisquel. I couldn’t run a software on Zorin (aldebaran choregraphe), I tried to solve it but unsuccesfully. So I had to change the distro. I chose Mint. Very friendly. Than switched to Trisquel because it’s 100% free and recommended by FSF. But for someone who doesn’t care about Free philosophy, I recommend Mint.
