Girlfriend agreed to try Linux
So after I copy some data (and see if this hard drive is reporting bad sectors), her freedom begins.Which one are you using?
Going to use Linux Mint Cinnamon. I like Fedora, but I'm not sure that's the best choice for a newbie.
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.

Deepin Linux is another one she could try too.
I like that a lot.

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

Drinking cheap beer and watching punk bands. Hell yeah.

Been getting random no response message so I’m using Ansible for now until I can solve that issue.

Heart palpitations. Time to choose life over good coffee.

But it was a close decision, trust me.
