I need to install an OS for someone whose first impulse upon seeing a screen is to touch it, because they are young and their first assumption is a touchscreen.

They know their way around Windows and Windows is probably tought to them at school, so Windows might actually be the smart move… but I fucking hate it.

Is ZorinOS or similar polished enough that I can leave it to someone whose tech literacy is centered around Roblox, TikTok and evading parental locks? I don’t want to normalize the Windows-bullshit. But I don’t want their first Linux-experience to be frustrating.

    Then either they changed that, or I didn’t understand it right, while I was using it.
    Probably the latter. That being said, my other frustration was a lack of easily discoverable in-depth documentation.
    But I wouldn’t be surprised if I was just too dumb to find that, too.

      That’s indeed a big concern. Thanks for mentioning that.

      FWIW, uBlue’s images (which are just opinionated takes on Fedora Atomic) have better documentation, but those have only more recently been a thing.
