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)
Atomic distros are harder to break and easier to use than non-immutable distros, making them a very easy sell to someone who wants “high stability, KDE, unobtrusive updates that happen without user input, and a snapshot system so we can roll back if anything gets fucked up”
