Linux Mint, Pop!_OS and ZorinOS are pretty nice for new users. If you want to get a little more advanced, maybe check out something like Fedora Atomic (e.g. Kinoite, Silverblue) or Universal Blue (Bazzite, Aurora, Bluefin). Arch isn't actually that hard, they have an installation script that makes everything super easy (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YE1LlTxfMQ), or you could watch a video on how to install it manually (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JYIAaLrwcY, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YC7NMbl4goo)

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

currently trying to move my mom to linux because she hates windows spyware (especially with co-pilot), will be trying zorin and mint with her.

unrelated but is libreoffice calc good for basic excel stuff? she isnt doing anything very very complex on it, but if something breaks i do NOT want to install windows and go through that whole thing again. (i do not use libreoffice calc, just writer and sometimes draw for pdfs)

Never really used Excel or LibreOffice Calc either, but I think it should be fine. OnlyOffice is another option to check out.

wasn't onlyoffice bought out by a corp?

[-] barsquid@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

You might be thinking of OpenOffice? OnlyOffice is at least open core under AGPL.
