    Put my mother on mint. The only issue she encountered was the mouse cursor not appearing sometimes, but that hasn’t happened in a while. Other than that, she can hardly tell the difference from windows 10. You should go through with it.

        Which is such a bullshit. On Linux we can met all requirements yet Netflix and co decides to not give us the best streams because we run Linux…

          You can try the android netflix app via Waydroid(with widevine).

          Maybe not as resilient/convenient/stable as a browser, but i think you can set up waydroid app as a single icon.

          Of course then you’re just swapping MS for gooogle.

            sure that, or… just don’t buy into it as streaming is more like Cable/PayTV 2.0 and go to the movies and or buy them in a store, or 🏴‍☠️

      Yeah, I’m thinking it couldn’t be worse than windows is now. It even sometimes will drop wifi connection. So how much worse could Linux be.

      My main concern for her is how often she edits documents. Since she gets her pension, she needs to do paperwork for it occasionally, so I don’t want formatting to mess something up for her.
