  • Mint is good. Fedora & KDE might be a good choice because of the customization. Could be a nice way for her to make her desktop her very own creative project that inspires her to learn more about her computer and how it works. Fedora is pretty damn snappy. dnf is really easy and she could just use discover or whatnot to install apps.

    Help her rice up her desktop a bit and show her how to install some programs. Maybe bookmark some tutorials for different programs you install and the OS of your choice.

    Blender, kdenlive, krita, gimp, inkscape, strawberry for music, libreoffice, vlc, supertuxcart etc…

    Then turn her loose and let her have fun.



















  • Garuda is pretty fucking awesome for an easy arch distro. Everything was installed correctly OOTB on my ASUS g733 with integrated/dedicated GPU so you don’t have to set Prime up yourself. Their KDE ricing in their dragonized version is the best I have found. Great gaming setup IMO. Easy beginner arch entry distro with all the bells and whistles. They have done a pretty good job with their garuda-update pacman wrapper and seems to handle most of the manual intervention during updates, uses reflector for mirrors on update too. Btrfs and snapper setup by default so rollback is easy as pie.

    Been wanting to try catchy for a while though.

    Fedora is a great option as well. Stable, well built and easy. Don’t really like flatpak that much but that’s just a personal preference. I really like dnf. Defiantly a good choice beginner distro.
