Yeah, and it's a desktop storage solution.... like, um, how does that affect network uptime?

Just got an email from IBM promoting COBOL 6.
Facepalm.

What?
"With Jentu, data is always at rest"
Yeah... they have no idea what any of what they say means. They just spout gibberish.
They had never heard of virtualization or VDI when we talked to them, either. Like, they were trying to do things that were already done and had never even researched the market to know what was there.
-
The funniest stuff was their sales pitch... "solve the problem of expensive downtime and complexity from failed destop hard drives." Um... that's not a problem anyone that I know has!

LOL. What they do is boot everyone from a single ISO sitting on a SAN.

Going to use Linux Mint Cinnamon. I like Fedora, but I'm not sure that's the best choice for a newbie.

Deepin Linux is another one she could try too.

Does Mint make it easier? Having used both, I like Fedora Cinnamon over Mint for a newbie using Cinnamon. Mint is decent, but I don't think quite as straightforward.

Truth be told she'll probably be happy with either. She won't know the difference, and it might be wiser to use Fedora. That way I'm only supporting one thing

All the major, and a lot of minor, desktop managers are available for every major distribution. So she won't know the difference anyway. Fedora + Cinnamon is my personal favorite, and what I've installed for friends.
Those that have annoyed me get Ubuntu.

Added bonus. She’s going t get an SSD. I think the Hdd is done, plus . . . Everyone needs an SSD

Deploying chocolatey packages via ansible playbook to several interview room computers. Very cool.
