From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

If she's coming from Windows, Mint is a much better choice with Cinnamon
Has been using Ubuntu for a while but kept destroying it. I aim at a stable base with modern applications.
Maybe you should give a try to an immutable OS like Fedora Silverblue or Kinoite.
They are very hard to break.
Thanks for your suggestions. Silverblue might be a good idea. I am more in the Debian based camp but maybe it is time for a change. I think it gets major updates as often as fedora "normal". This might not be ideal for us though.
If you like Debian, then just wait for Vanilla OS. The next big release (a open beta should be out soon) will switch from Ubuntu to Debian. I will switch instantly if there's a KDE variant.
Wow, that looks very promising. Will keep that in mind. Thanks for the tip.
