Any recommendations for a linux distro that i can set up and be reasonably sure my non techy SO won’t break accidentally? The set up doesn’t have to be easy it just has to not break once I leave her alone with it. My first thought was popOS.

My plan is to have 2 profiles and not give her access to sudo. I just don’t want to have to go into it unless she needs a new program.

    I guess it depends what she does on her pc.

    But ignoring that, Mint without sudo. Throw in flatpaks and appimages.

    Immutable distros are probably fine too but in my experience they tend to be a bit fussy if you need to change something in the system config.

    Ubuntu, always a solid choice for beginners but Gnome shell is a bigger change from windows conpared to Cinamon.

    P.S. I have Mint on our TV PC and my SO handdles it without issues.
