What OS should I install on my Mom's laptop?
What OS should I install on my Mom's laptop?
some linux shit with gnome or kde
ElementaryOS
Just buy her the cheapest iPad 2018.. it's stupid proof and enough for browsing the internet.
Chrome OS.
If your mom is as retarded as mine - Linux Mint.
Windows 10 obviously or buy her a MacBook.
Install Gentoo
sudo apt-get install gentoo
just install windows 10 if it can handle it
Peppermint OS
If you have time for setting it up, use Arch. Choose a DE/WM based on what version of windows she knows.
>2000 and earlier: Openbox/LXDE
>XP: XFCE
>Vista/7: MATE/Cinnamon
>8(.1)/10: KDE
Then install openssh and just do maintenance over that. Make sure not maker a sudoer.
xfce mint
install just win 10 ltsc, there is no point with fucking with linux and maybe in the future you will need to run some exe or something. if laptop too shit then install win 7
windows
TempleOS
MX Linux
I unironically installed Lubuntu on my mom's 10 years old PC. It's running great now and can play 10 YouTube tabs simultaneously where on W10 it would only play 2 stuttering.
10/10 recommend
That's a really really good distro for normies and boomers. But only decent on builds with more than 4GB of RAM
This.
Sell laptop get iPad. Holy shit, I barely talk to my parents anymore after it.
Ubuntu LTS with the DE that your mom likes best
Unironically this
I just bought my aunt a $100 Chromebook though cause installing neverware was a hit or miss when updating
then use wine
arch
templeOS
This. I installed this for my little sister and she hasn't complained yet
Hand her a guide to install Gentoo and run away
Windows 10. Don't turn ur mom into a Linux nogger or else her disappointment will increase more than she already is in her useless nigger of a child
