I would rather give them Zorin OS with their customized version of GNOME, or Linux Mint / LMDE with Cinnamon. (No, I'm not a KDE hater, I think it's a great option for those who want to fully customize their desktop experience, or the PewDiePie type of guys who already adopted the mindset of tweaking around, playing around with the options, not wanting to go back to Windows when encountering a bug, but it's not for every newcomer.))</p><p>Wayback 0.1 released as a first preview release:<br><a href="https://www.phoronix.com/news/Wayback-0.1-Released" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">phoronix.com/news/Wayback-0.1-</span><span class="invisible">Released</span></a></p><p>(FOSS news in comments)</p><p><a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/WeeklyNews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WeeklyNews</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/News" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>News</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/LinuxNews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LinuxNews</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Debian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Debian</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Debian13" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Debian13</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/KDEPlasma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KDEPlasma</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/KDEPlasma6" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KDEPlasma6</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/OBS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OBS</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/OBSStudio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OBSStudio</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/KaOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KaOS</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Fedora" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Fedora</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Operese" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Operese</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Wayback" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Wayback</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/DistroRelease" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DistroRelease</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/DesktopEnvironment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DesktopEnvironment</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/DesktopLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DesktopLinux</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/GNOME" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GNOME</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/KDE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KDE</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Plasma6" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Plasma6</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/FosseryTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FosseryTech</span></a></p>
