Even as an EndeavourOS user, I concur: Mint. Why? Cinnamon is hands down the best desktop environment. Beginner friendly default without blasting features in one’s face with configs all over the place, yet intuitively customizable for experienced Linux users.
This means she will be able to freely use it without your help, but you will be able to easily fine tune it to her preferences as well.

Trump doesn’t need the Nobel Peace Prize, he needs chemotherapy, full body radiation, a vasectomy, a lobotomy, open heart surgery, and electroconvulsive therapy, all at once, unsterilized, using nothing but a contraption made of hammers and rusty spoons performed by ChatGPT. South Park wasn’t joking, Trump really is a demon having an incestuous relationship with the devil. He is a walking malignant cancer with some trace human cells, assuming he still defecates.
I honestly tend to think that instead of using search engines where you already have to know what you’re looking for, it might be better to use something like lemmy where you can advertise what you made with a post in an appropriate community.
Obviously both have their place, but POSSE is the magic sauce:
“POSSE is an abbreviation for Publish (on your) Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere, the practice of posting content on your own site first, then publishing copies or sharing links to third parties (like social media silos) with original post links to provide viewers a path to directly interacting with your content.” ―https://indieweb.org/POSSE

“The need for discovery
Nothing you do to try to make the web a better place matters if nobody can find what you did. There are a lot of precious websites out there that deserve an audience, but instead are languishing in obscurity.
This makes alternative discovery mechanisms an urgent priority of the free and independent web, both document search as well as blog and RSS-feed discovery.”

I don’t know why people keep saying this. You either pay for a service, or you get a company extracting as much data as they can from you for advertiser or VC money. Servers and bandwidth cost money
Yes, things cost money. Yes, ideally those who can pay for it should. No, something being free doesn’t legitimize unethical means to make a profit.

Cinnamon. After using Xfce and KDE Plasma for years, and having testing Gnome, Budgie, etc., Cinnamon feels like it took the best ingredients from all of them.
The beauty of Linux is the triviality of creating an alias that runs whatever long or short update command by typing “upd” or “release_the_epstein_files”. E.g., in ~/.bashrc, place:
alias release_the_epstein_files="sudo pacman -Syu --noconfirm"
And I love you too.
I love you.
The entire stock market has become a meme stock pyramid scheme. No price makes sense; it’s all glorified gambling making life on this planet worse for most living things.

Limp dick Gestapo brained pieces of shit.
Ask 
about
Zuckerberg is The Matrix’s Cypher.
[Verse 1]
I come from scientists and atheists and white men who kill God
They make technology high quality, complex, physiological
Experiments and sacrilege in the name of public good
They taught me everything, just like a daddy should
[Verse 2]
And you were beautiful and vulnerable and power and success
God damn, I fell for you, your flamethrowers, your tunnels, and your tech
I studied code because I wanted to do something great like you
And the real tragedy is half of it was true
[Bridge 1]
But we’ve been fuckin’ mean, we’re elitist, we’re as flawed as any church
And this faux-rad West coast dogma has a higher fuckin’ net worth
I bit the apple ’cause I trusted you
It tastes like Thomas Malthus
Your proposal is immodest and insane
And I hope someday Selmers rides her fuckin’ train
[Chorus]
I loved you, I loved you, I loved you, it’s true
I wanted to be you and do what you do
I lived here, I loved here, I thought it was true
I feel so stupid, and so used
I feel so used
[Verse 3]
I was your baby, your firstborn, the hot girl in your comp-sci class
And I was Darwin’s prep school dream bred born and raised to kick your ass
I fell for circuit boards, rocket ships, pictures of the stars
If you could only be what you pretend you are
[Verse 4]
When I said take me to the moon I never meant take me alone
I thought if mankind toured the sky it meant that all of us could go
But I don’t want to see the stars if they’re just one more piece of land
For us to colonize, for us to turn to sand
[Bridge 2]
‘Cause we’re so fuckin’ mean, we’re so elitist, we’re as fucked as any church
And this bullshit West coast dogma has a higher fuckin’ net worth
I bit the apple ’cause I loved you, and why would you lie?
And then I realized that you’re just as naïve as I am
Oh, you’re so traumatized it makes me want to cry
[Chorus]
You dumb *removed*
I loved you, I loved you, I loved you, it’s true
I wanted to be you and do what you do
I lived here, I loved here, I bought it, it’s true
I’m so embarrassed, I feel abused
[Verse 5]
Well I don’t want to eat the rich, I’d have to eat my heroes first
And my tuition’s paid by blood, I might deserve your fate or worse
But I don’t need your god damn money, I don’t need jack shit from you
So when I speak, you bet your life my words are true
[Verse 6]
Let me level with you man, as someone guilty of the game
I took the help, I took the cash, I would’ve taken your last name
So if any girl on Earth should get to make a call about this, it should be me
And as I see it, you’re a dick
[Bridge 3]
So fuck your tunnels, fuck your cars, fuck your rockets, fuck your cars again
You promised you’d be Tesla, but you’re just another Edison
‘Cause Tesla broke a patent, all you ever broke were hearts
I can’t believe you tore humanity apart
With the very same machines that could have been our brand new start
[Chorus]
And the worst part is
I loved you, I loved you, I loved you, it’s true
And sometimes I feel like I still fuckin’ do
I lived here, I loved here, I bought it, it’s true
I’m so embarrassed, I feel abused
I feel so used
I feel so used
Take me to the moon
‘Cause I feel so used
If only he cuts his finger on it and dies of a fat embolism.
