Tonight I am about to install endless os for my non technical partner. Do you think that is a good idea? Would you do the same?

    It’s worth a shot. Non-technical users are it’s target demographic.

    I would pick something immutable like this. Non-technical users aren’t going to get under the hood and tinker, like many Linux users do.

      Turns out she needs a bit of proprietary software (pixum for photo books) that I could not install on EndlessOS. So I had to change course and installed pop os. So far I am pleasantly suprised. Even though I thought I would not like it, their take on GNOME makes sense to me. Tiling is fun.

        Pop is great, my only complaint is their posterized stylized default backgrounds. It is their look, but might be a turnoff for some wanting a more polished pro look like ElementaryOS default.
