Mint (MATE). It’s preconfigured closest to what I want, with just a couple tweeks I can do whatever I need with utilities and a GUI I’m familiar with.

If Its a headless machine Ubuntu or Debian. Again familiar with both can do whatever on both without having to relearn low to build a wheel.

Primarily a windows user but I do use Linux for some applications.

So how do you combat that if even their family dying around them isn’t enough to get them to even consider those people on tv might have lied to them?

Hey covid will still kill you even if you call it a hoax.
Rep: you God damn liberals are ruining this county Several family members die
Rep: they died of pneumonia not covid covid is a hoax and a Chinese bioweapon.

IMHO the one in the middle is the most comfortable to use.

I bought a pack of a hundred of them and put several everywhere I thought I might look for one.
