I've been saying for years I was going to move back over to Linux. This will be the push I need. Sadly my Dad is bad at computers and will need Windows 11 when using 10 becomes a problem. I'm throwing this at my brother since I was the one who got our Dad a Windows 10 computer. FU Microsoft, you peaked at XP.
Maybe a ChromeOS machine? It doesn't get more simple to use than that.
Nope. For a family member you just install ubuntu. Maybe if you feel strongly about it, you uninstall snap firefox and install apt firefox, but otherwise you just leave it alone.
it'll run forever, auto update, etc. completely hands off and stress free.
Doesn't apt install the snap package on Ubuntu when it's available anyway? I'd say Mint is probably easier then. Ubuntu has gone a bit off the rails in recent years.
Eh, who really cares. Its going to be a web machine for elderly people.
