I went through the effort to guide some people (mostly my family n≈10) through distrochooser, but in the end most of them chose Linux Mint and two wanted to go with endeavour for gaming, but I installed base arch on it and we designed their basic workflows together. For now everyone is happy.

True, but i had similar problems in the past. I had 32GB RAM and when suspending it took years to boot and one day it didn’t boot at all. A second hard drive with 50GB swap solved that problem for me.
Are you using swap? If yes how much? It is recommended to use 1.5x your installed RAM if you want to use hibernation or suspension.

8·2 months agoJust install her favourite browser, chromium, Firefox, whatever. Set it as default and then create desktop links to her favourite streaming services. How to do that can be found here. You can also change the Icon to the specific logo by downloading it and change the line with ‘icon’ to a file path.
Should look and feel just like a desktop app

The way I learned and internalized English, was through programming and a vocabulary trainer/flash cards at around 11 years old. So my advice would be: find something they find interesting and provide them with mostly English resources to learn that interesting thing, while also starting to learn basic vocabulary through flash cards.
