I've been getting into Linux again as I'm wanting to run my "server" on a more stable OS (currently Windows 10) and then run Windows VM.
I currently have a Ubuntu Server 16.04 LTS and have a laptop running Lubuntu 19.04 but not really liking it and might change it to Lubuntu 18.04 LTS instead.
I've also heard of Linux Mint and the various flavor Cinnamon, Mate and XFCE and am currently testing the later.
What do you guys recommend or which one are you currently using?
On a side note, I've been thinking of changing my parents OS from Windows 7 to Linux as WIndows 7 will be end of support in 2020 and they don't really need Windows 10. My mom has a Surface 3 with Win10 for that anyway.
But they have 2 towers that they use primarily for internet, social media and video streaming.
Which distro would you run for elderly or kids?
I'm reading that Linux Mint Cinnamon is the most similar to Windows so might be giving that a try
