Mint is a lovely solid stable daily driver, it’s only problem is like Debian it’s packages are a bit old sometimes… I always look and see what a machine is actually expected to do.I presume you can move debian based mint to sid repos. (or a devuan based to ceres).
I have to admit liking Manjaro. Now that’s pretty bleeding edge yet doesn’t break too oftenlol. that was funny. a cascade of inevitable woes. throughout that paragraph and ongoing, through the same joke.
20+ years ago as an early 64 bit adopter I ran Sabayon…was about to object to that, saying it's not possible... ... ... then started wondering, has it really been that long? when did sabayon start? when did 64bit start?
The OP’s grandmother, or even the OP’s granddaughter, will probably never use Linux. It’s a niche OS by nature.I dont know the grandmother or grandaughter in question or why such an assertion can be made for them specifically, but, linux, the OS, by its nature, can be shaped to fill almost any niche... so why is it they will probably never use linux? loser's script presumptive projecting? maybe we could build a custom one for them.
fwiw, I don’t even go into the BSD / GPL argument in front of them. That’s a masters-level discussion… and I bet a few of us could write a thesis about the differences
after a couple of minutes explaining the package manager they seem to manage just fine.yeah, methinks this something any distro striving to be accessible to new users can do much better... ferrying them to understanding the package manager. it no one points it out to you, it's possible to be using a linux distro with no idea about a package manager. lets get a first-boot help dialogue window with a friendly little animated konky pointing to the concise package manager intro "this is how to install more software..."
The only BSD I’ve even looked at is DragonflyBSD for my personal server, but that was a while agostop.

this weekend that China-backed hackers have compromised the wiretap systems of several U.S. telecom and internet providers, likely in an effort to gather intelligence on Americans.https://techcrunch.com/2024/10/07/the-30-year-old-internet-backdoor-law-that-came-back-to-bite/
\
The wiretap systems, as mandated under a 30-year-old U.S. federal law, are some of the most sensitive in a telecom or internet provider’s network, typically granting a select few employees nearly unfettered access to information about their customers, including their internet traffic and browsing histories.
\
But for the technologists who have for years sounded the alarm about the security risks of legally required backdoors, news of the compromises are the “told you so” moment they hoped would never come but knew one day would.

“I think it absolutely was inevitable,” Matt Blaze, a professor at Georgetown Law and expert on secure systems, told TechCrunch regarding the latest compromises of telecom and internet providers.
