Is this a decent OS to move users off Win too that I won’t have to do a lot of remote maintenance on? I have a few varied OS’s installed on machines around and Cinnamon I have found to look/feel a lot like Windows 7 which would benefit the learning curve for family/friends looking or needing to find an OS to install on a machine that isn’t newer.
Curious if anyone has used this, and if so if it is a good fit for those 60+ aged family members and such. They have all used Windows for work at least a decent amount, so keeping things similar is always good. A decent App Store would be nice though. I hated the default store in Pop_OS.
If I could say do updates and reboot every once in awhile and you should be fine it’d be great. Remoting in with RustDesk and sudo Apt Update/Upgrade being all that is needed also would be great, but you know how that goes. Someone will break something, and I just want something intuitive enough that they won’t do it often.
A device that can’t run a normal desktop environment/compositor/wm just isn’t worth keeping, if it can’t run plasma, it can’t run a browser or anything useful either (and you can get a 10 year old laptop/office pc basically for free).
or even a raspberry pi 4
My laptop struggled with plasma, but works just fine now with xfce. Even plays 1080p YouTube videos. But plasma was too much for some reason. I suppose the limit here is my 4gb ram
