Tonight I am about to install endless os for my non technical partner. Do you think that is a good idea? Would you do the same?

If she’s coming from Windows, Mint is a much better choice with Cinnamon

Has been using Ubuntu for a while but kept destroying it. I aim at a stable base with modern applications.

Ok, I’m normally against this, but this sounds like a job for nix.

Nice idea. I`d love to love nix but I think it is too involved for me. Maybe I have to try again but I need results tonight, so this might be for another time.

Maybe you should give a try to an immutable OS like Fedora Silverblue or Kinoite.

They are very hard to break.

Thanks for your suggestions. Silverblue might be a good idea. I am more in the Debian based camp but maybe it is time for a change. I think it gets major updates as often as fedora “normal”. This might not be ideal for us though.

Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
