Jesus. Another one of these? Every freaking day. (Promise it’s different)

I personally like mint and pop!os for new users, but for this user I want to try something windows like with more sex appeal. I don’t want to have to touch this computer again. Proprietary software is not an issue/consideration. User is techier than most. What has your experience been with kbuntu? Pros/cons? Other suggestions?

    I used to recommend Ubuntu. Now that immutable distributions exist, I prefer to recommend openSUSE Aeon or Fedora Silverblue to new users. However, check this website before installing Linux.

      This site refers to “local repair cafés” more than once. Is that a regional thing? I’ve never seen those three words in that order ever before.

      I know I’ll get down voted for this, but from that site:

      "Microsoft wants you to buy a new computer.

      But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again?"

      Kind of a sensationalized statement. I’ve upgraded tons of machines from 2015 and newer to windows 11 without issues. Sure, not all of them, but I’d say a majority of them, and the “upgrade” is free.

      I guess I wanted to point out this piece isn’t as doom and gloom as it seems.
