Hello there. Was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a Linux distro for grandparents? They are over 70 years old, with an old HP desktop and laptop running Windows 10. All they need is a Web browser, so no need for special software or wine to run Windows programs. Would preferably like something that is low maintenance so I don’t have to be constant tech support for them (apart from the initial install and setup). Thanks for any suggestions.

    Thanks for the ideas. Will the update script still need sudo to run, or can it be done at an unprivileged user level?

      I think in Mint you can set up auto update on their updater app

      Im not sure but its probably fine to sudo it (now someone will come here and say it is a national security problem)
