Sir a Linux desktop recommendation for non-tech-literate elders is just silly | ||

It's getting less silly every month! So many people in that boat only use the web browser anyway. With a well-supported hardware configuration and a working web browser, even a non-techie may have a more stable experience than they would with Windows. That has as much to do with the decline of Windows as with the ascent of desktop Linux, but still. | ||

Why? As long as you use a regular desktop distro, it's simple, pleasant and easy to use. This was already true 10+ years ago. | ||

It isnt silly. We did this with my 92 yo grandma back in the 2010s. She had a browser, an email client, word processor, printer. Bulletproof, immune to all the apps and malware. She couldnt break it. | ||
