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.

    Yes but in Debian this will install all the standard apps from all DEs, so you’ll have multiple image viewers, PDF viewers, music players, etc. visible in all DEs, and if you click on a file it will prompt you which program to use.
    It may also install sddm alongside gdm as display manager and I’m not sure how it handles that.
