I almost went with Zorin, but the ratings and reviews in Linux Mint ultimately won me over, as well as ease of use.

That said, I almost checked out Winux, but evidently, it is not actually FOSS.

Might be able to use Mint Debian Edition.

Yes indeed, this happened to my coworker yesterday and it took them an hour to get everything fixed. This is not OK.

Regarding Ubuntu, its cousin Mint is even more regular user friendly, as is ZorinOS.

One of my favourite things about Mint is that it has a Software Center with ratings and reviews. It’s what tipped me over from installing Zorin OS.

Snerk, show him TuxKart. I haven’t played it myself yet, been meaning to.

I have a lot of geek/nerd friends who know their way around it, but the one excuse I’ve seen, for anyone who has heard of it, is the stigma that you have to use the terminal and need to be a “programmer”. Which is why, for those people, I just call it Mint Operating System.

If I may ask, which distro did/do you have on it?
