Any recommendations for a linux distro that i can set up and be reasonably sure my non techy SO won’t break accidentally? The set up doesn’t have to be easy it just has to not break once I leave her alone with it. My first thought was popOS.

My plan is to have 2 profiles and not give her access to sudo. I just don’t want to have to go into it unless she needs a new program.

    Mint.

    I have my mum (67) and my partner using it.

    Libre office and Firefox cover 99.9% of all the things mum actually does.

    My partner uses blender, krita and audacity also.

    Auto updates… Almost no tech support.

      Linux mint makes sense. Auto updates and its hastle free for non techy person like me.

      Even if I’m doing something crazy , chatgpt to the rescue.
