My boomer uncle wants to switch to linux because he heard windows spys on you. I threw ubuntu into a virtual box and he said it looks faggy (exact word). Shoud I just put him on Manjaro with kde or something?

Use clear linux
tell him real men dont use a GUI.
Did you use default gnome Ubuntu? I mean it does look kinda flamboyant. Should have used Xubuntu or something
I showed him my i3 rice and he called me a nerd
I also made the mistake of comparing canonical to microsoft and he got mad that I even bothered to show him ubuntu
Fedora Cinnamon
install gentoo
he sounds fucking based
>I showed him my i3 rice and he called me a nerd
based boomer
mint cinnamon

2 most unstable Linux related things. Just give him Mint Cinnamon.
What he said but the opposite.
>ubuntu
>he said it looks faggy
Fucking kek, based uncle. Give him Arch with MATE.
start autistically screaming at him to install gentoo
Put him on IceWM
Mint Cinnamon.
Clean and secure current system. Replace ie/edge/chrome with Firefox or some other equally shitty browser. The key is the icon must look different. Then change his wallpaper, color scheme, and resolution or font zoom.
Tell him it's a just like windows but more secure.
just turn off all the privacy related settings
Just install Manjaro with XFCE
Put an american flag in the home button.
put him in front of slack install media with the docs on a separate device.
>clean and secure
>windows
PICK ONE AND ONLY ONE user DESU
Ubuntu MATE
Mint MATE
Mint Cinnamon
Xubuntu
Ubuntu MATE. Get a proper theme, I like Android from B00merang Project with their Windows 10 titlebars. Nice icon set like Papirus... install Chrome because he's a normie and only worries about MS spying on him not Google who controls the browser and his phone....
I've been thinking that someone should release a Linux distribution with Chrome preinstalled and just claim it's like Chrome OS since you can use all the shit you can in ChromeOS, the Linux stuff is just bonus.
Tell the ungrateful faggot to figure it out himself.
Show him Xubuntu or Ubuntu MATE.
>KDE
that's extra faggy, try Xubuntu instead
>I threw ubuntu into a virtual box and he said it looks faggy (exact word)
absolutely based. the exact reaction any man should have
This
Just put Debian on an ISO and let his geriatric ass figure it out. People who ask for help and then shit on it deserve none.
If he finds the "windows classic" look acceptable then Xfce is your choice.
UPDATE
I let him scroll through a desktop thread and he consistantly picked generic xfce rices. I'm going give him Debian w/ xfce even though Mint w/ cinnamon is probably better for him. Also, he called me a fag for going on a website where grown men have little girls as their wallpaper. Now he associates me with lolifags so thanks to any degenerates who posted their loli desktops in the last thread
>he consistantly picked generic xfce rices
figures
xfce made to look like classic windows is pure boomercore
Just use another flavour of Ubuntu or Linux Mint.
ubuntu.com
CHOOSE 18.04 LTS BIONIC FUCKING BEAVER
Why would you give a novice a rolling release? Stay away from Manjaro!
>liking cunny
>gay
hmm
Lol based
he sounds based, give him arch + kde.
Mint
call him a fag for not liking loli
Literally just let him try Mint Xfce. This is the first thing I'd let a boomer try.
just mint
>he hates Windows built in spyware
>you give him a systemd distro
user this is elder abuse.
Xfce or something with the old look to it
flush his heart meds down the drain to teach him a lesson
I want to believe this is real
