  • KDE Plasma offers a UI similar to Windows out of the box, I would say that’s a good start. Introduce them to the endless customisation options and they might start to dig it. Maybe take a distro aimed at gaming like Bazzite.

    Other good options inlcude OpenSUSE or Linux Mint, the latter with another, but also similar feeling desktop.

    Although caution is advised, this is a slippery slope to becoming a programmer.









  • Linux basically cannot damage hardware in any way that Windows couldn’t. The hardware/firmware decides what interfaces it offers and what you can configure. If any hardware puts these roadblocks only in the driver or some UI, and (for whatever reason) only the Windows version, I guess you could.

    Would be a really strange thing to do tho, since most just implement a generic driver that works everywhere and then at most an interface on top of that.



  • Bruh, you need a new name. “EU OS” is both terribly bland and super hard to pronounce. I guess they got screwed by EndeavourOS and e/OS already occupying EOS already, but you can do better. Let me try:

    EurOS (self-explanatory) Ios (as a play on Io, the mythological ancestor of Europa and, in my humble opinion, a brilliant mocking of iOS) BoIS (Boring Independence System… Why yes, I do like Rust and Arch, how did you know?) PlutOS (Lowest layer, ruler of the underworld, get it? Get it? Okay, it mainly sounds cool.)
