If you need a FOSS, cross platform GUI for bootable USB sticks, Raspberry Pi Imager is a really good solution.
It is mainly used to flash SD cards for RPIs, but also you can burn any ISO on any support with it.

Since less techy people tend to use more the mouse/touchpad anyways, I would pick a hard-to-mess-with desktop environment like Cinnamon or Gnome. With KDE, XFCE and such you can screw panels really easily if you don’t know what you’re doing.
Slap Debian under it and there you go

Welcome to the team.
I hope you brought your bouncing shoes because as soon as you’ll get comfortable, you’ll start hopping a lot

Well Aaron didn’t deepthroat a mushroom-shaped presidential cock to ask for pardon

I distro-hopped so many times I got so sick of change that I’ve stuck with Debian for 4 years, the longest ever. It’s a peaceful life.

Yeah, but usually thieves sell the stolen phones to people that are slightly smarter and better organized

This is my second iteration of CalyxOS, I used to rock a Pixel 4a and now I’m on a Fairphone 5, and I love it. It’s rock solid and never had a compatibility issue, although I heard that some banking apps might misbehave with microg, but not in my experience.
Graphene has pretty much the same approach but instead of supporting microg, has decided to take the route of sandboxing Google Services, which is a better route for compatibility at the expense of letting some of your data leak through once in a while.
/e/OS is a wonderful project on paper, but in my experience it was the one with more issues and bugs: they try to support as many devices and services as possible, providing a full environment that’s easy to setup for any user, but having to deal with so may things makes them a little hit or miss sometimes. Nonetheless I still believe they’re a great project that brings privacy to the less techy people with a (mostly) working ecosystem.
LineageOS isn’t focused on privacy but in extending the life cycle of devices after they’ve been discontinued, so if your concern is to be private I’d go with something else.

Don’t underestimate the bootloader locking feature: once your whole life is connected to one device, you don’t want a guy with a USB cable be able to access it in case of loss/theft. DON’T ASK ME HOW I KNOW IT.

The FBI is trying to trick me into feeling guilty, too bad I was the firstborn of a single mother and this shit does not work on me anymore

Oh I’m sorry, I didn’t know ethnic cleansing had sub-cathegories

What happened to elementary OS?

Gnome 4 came out…

Twitter got bought literally less than 2 years ago, we all fucking witnessed it.
Who is this article for? 1 year olds?

When Windows 10 came out, half of the Windows 7 system got borked. Mine was one of them.
The next day I flashed Ubuntu on a USB stick

Well maybe, I think it might be an acquired taste: all the little imperfections derived by the industrial technique in which a vinyl is made make it sound a little weirder but that’s the main reason you start to like it. Imperfection is something that might grow on you if yoh give it a chance

CDs are better than vinyl in the same exact way reddit is better than lemmy: cheap, easier to manage, mainstream content. If you look for a sound that’s not strictly higher quality but that gives you a more authentic vibe, vinyl is the way

Yeah, he was already on a weird path but after Covid he went down really hard.
I hope he will seek help and get better

Writing from a 3 years old 4a running CalyxOs: the phone is a perfect choice if you want a small sized phone with a 3.5mm jack and that gets constant updates. The camera might be a little better but I don’t take many pictures so I don’t mind.
