Welp… My mom is apparently done with windows (yay!) Anf wants me to move her laptop to Linux (oh nooo). I personally use Ubuntu studios but im not sure what to get for her. She is getting her masters in nursing online so it def needs to be able to accommodate that. Do y’all have any suggestions on where to start? TIA

    I set up my ex-MIL with Mint and it worked fine. Also gave my 70-something father a Mint USB and he installed it on his own.

    I’ve used other distros for that purpose in the past but since they no longer exist I’m not listing them.

    I’d check to see if any proprietary software is required, if there is a linux or at least WINE-friendly version available. Hopefully it’s all web-based so no proprietary stuff needed.
