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

Thanks, I will put Mint on a USB, along side some others as well. I have fond memories of Mint, as it was my first distro.

Thanks, and good idea on letting them check out the different DE’s. Does Debian have multiple DE’s ready to go, or do you need to install each one individually?

I was thinking Fedora as I use it personally on all my computers and really like it, but I thought Gnome would be too much of a drastic change for them since they are coming from Windows. Might just put it on a USB just in case, and let them test out a couple DE’s before committing to anything.

Still shitty, but at this point, anyone buying Blu-Rays and DVDs should chuck that stuff on Plex/Jellyfin and be done with it.

How about, give us more money?
