    IMO Mint is more “Your Mum Can’t Brick This”. I wouldn’t hand it over to my grandma and expect to not get a call in the future saying it’s all gone to shit 😂

      Ahh you have one of those truly destructive force-of-nature grandmas that no UX can stop from working over a system until it begs for a complete reformat!

      I feel for you <3

      … Maybe keep a remote access service like RustDesk handy if she’s more than a few miles away then. 😆

      … And install with BTRFS and Timeshift rollbacks.

      Haha but I’ve seen it posted multiple times: “I set them up with it and my phone stops ringing for tech support calls and they’re happy with it!” haha. Some like to learn, some don’t sadly.

      But YMMV, depending on the appetite for chaos wielded by one’s particular gran-gran. XD
