My mom has a business and mostly uses Windows and Mac OS X; I mentioned Linux because it could help save money.
She is unfamiliar with Linux though; I gave her some basic introduction (uncertain if it’s any good, but sure), but I would like to be able to ease her into Linux if she prefers it.
Yes… I think that’s probably the solution : find an old laptop, and flash something user-friendly onto it. Make sure it’s got LibreOffice, a browser and an email client (if that’s her thing).
Which distro should I use? I was thinking of using Ubuntu.
I think Fedora is just as user friendly, but better than Ubuntu. But, yeah, I know Ubuntu is popular ( I just don’t like it).
I think Ubuntu is a good start. If it runs smooth. The flashy look is impressive for newcomers I think.
Yeah. Why not?
I was thinking the same thing. I just wasn’t certain until now.
This is the solution. Also use a distro that doesn’t need 3gb updates every week. Those tend to be annoying for casual users.
