I think I got my #Grandfather so far, that he is willing to install #Linux with me on one of his Machines. I would choose between #KDE Neon and #Linuxmint for him. Or am I completely wrong? What do you think?
P.S.: He is not like the stereotype grandfather who has no idea about tech and conputers, so it must not be the most simple way, but also not the most complicated.
I guess a #debian based distro will be fine...
Oh and no *buntu #distros!
@MagicLike i took solus for my parents to replace win. recently solus was a bit rough, so i dunno if i can recommend it, but if you don't want to upgrade every half year and you can live with a quite small software base it's maybe worth a check
@MagicLike I think you're fine with either distro - personally I'm a bigger fan of KDE Plasma for people over Cinnamon, but either work.
I actually went Linux Mint -> KDE Neon -> Debian Stable (with KDE Plasma) on my journey - I actually think Debian is also a great starting distro despite what people say, especially with Debian 12's new installer.
@mattswift yeah, but what bothers me is the ugly "Session chooser" when starting Debian stable. Also I don't understand why the only user I created wasn't admin nor in the sudoers file...
@MagicLike You mean the login screen? I always just bypass that anyway.
I agree that the first user not being in the sudoers file is weird; you can have Debian do this by skipping creation of root, but then you have issues getting into recovery mode.
@MagicLike Well, the very first time I install Debian I log in through it, but then I just have KDE Plasma automatically log me in so it skips SDDM; it's in the system settings under startup.
