My father switched to linux (Mint, I think) in his 70s. I was in another state so he did it solo. He had a few questions but otherwise it was smooth sailing.
4·2 months agoTraditionally I’ve been running lighter desktops like opebox, xfce, or lmde. Last couple of years I’ve been using MATE with good results.
In my country that would cost me 20 dollars
The first RAM I bought (SIPP for a 386-16 IIRC) was $50/MB. Jay-sus.
nowadays Mint is Ubuntu with sane default settings that will run out of the box
There’s also an official version of Mint based on Debian (LMDE)
Running an OS as a virtual is liberating. Dive in, make mistakes, fix them (or not and have to reinstall or redo from the last save). No real consequences for exploring.
