Only tech savvy for installing an OS, other than that Linux is a better experience for less tech savvy users. My wife struggled with Windows and how things don’t make sense (it was also slow) so I setup nixOS with GNOME, no more complaints
Does your wife install packages with NixOS? This is one of the few distros I tried (and now main) that I genuinely cannot recommend to anyone not willing to spend days learning the lang & concepts.
No, she is very bad with tech. I have added everything she needs for her web, email, spreadsheet, zoom call use.
NixOS is super easy for an average person who can edit a text file though. You go to this site https://search.nixos.org/packages
, search what you want, it gives you the code to paste into your config, and run a rebuild…or options for a temp install. Seems painless.
