Any recommendations for a linux distro that i can set up and be reasonably sure my non techy SO won’t break accidentally? The set up doesn’t have to be easy it just has to not break once I leave her alone with it. My first thought was popOS.

My plan is to have 2 profiles and not give her access to sudo. I just don’t want to have to go into it unless she needs a new program.

    Fair!

    But still, an installation process that doesn’t involve a package manager is a bit of a pain, comparatively. Flatpaks may certainly be very helpful, though.

      There are tools to download, compile and install packages! Whether or how you use them is left up to the slacker. I use them, but I scrutinize most deps so that I’m not adding support for features I won’t use.
