I’ve done this for years with people in my family - either Ubuntu or Linux Mint. All most of them use is the browser, word processor, spreadsheets and an image and media viewer.

For Desktop Environment I stick to KDE or something that looks and acts similar to Windows XP.

I get very few complaints.

Most people just want something that works and isn’t cluttered.

I might spend 30 minutes after a distro install getting things right, once I have it set up I don’t tinker with it much.

Europe is the good guy? Since when?

Whoever came up with this meme has never heard of BP, Shell, Eni, Siemens, Spotify or the numerous European fast fashion companies that depend on sweat shop labor to survive.
