My friend has an ailing Chromebook and I’m getting them a decent real laptop that I’m going to put Linux on. They essentially do everything in a browser already so software compatibility isn’t an issue. I’m looking for distros with high stability, KDE, unobtrusive updates that happen without user input, and a snapshot system so we can roll back if anything gets fucked up.

Also, recs for office software to get them off Google Docs (needs to be compatible with MSOffice formats)

    The same Ublue family of people who make Bazzite also make Bluefin (Gnome) and Aurora (KDE), so I would actually recommend Aurora over stock Fedora Atomic since the Ublue bakes in a lot more stuff like drivers.

    Edit: someone else mentioned this already, whoops. I still agree though.
