I just threw it on the family laptop to give it another life. So far it’s great, and I would honestly suggest it as a regular user desktop system. My kids will be fine with it, so would my mom, and any of my non-tech-savvy friends.

Personally I probably won’t switch from my beloved LMDE, but I’m also a greybeard nerd who’s set in my ways.

that's how I started 15 years ago… put it on a netbook just to try it and loved it… showed the wife and she said "it's coooler than windows" (loved her more from that day)… windows never entered my house since
