Source: I use Aurora & Bazzite.
If you want a set it and forget it distro to never touch his computer again, then consider going a Ublue distro. Aurora (only KDE), or Bazzite (choose the KDE image) if he does gaming.

If you select laptops, Other laptop, Older/Legacy GPUs, Nvidia (GTX 9xx-10xx Series), it recommends: bazzite-nvidia:stable
Which is the image that bundles the proprietary Nvidia driver for your laptop. They don’t need to know the exact model, just the generation.
That cartoon is so misleading, I thought I was deceived and sent to a bogus site.
Fedora too, if the users are tech illiterate and they come from Windows it might be worth going for the Kinoite spin. They wouldn’t be able to wreck it and the UI would feel more familiar to them.
Yes, while it’s vastly better than it was not long ago, there’s quite a bit of catching up for them to do. On Bazzite gamemode on Nvidia is quite rudimentary.
However, Nvidia is progressing fast, I bet I’ll have no issues with it in the near future.
I have two PCs, one with an RTX 3080TI the other one has an RX 7800 XTX.
The difference is real. For example, Gamescope on Nvidia is a buggy mess, and Nvidia on Linux performs worse than on Windows. AMD works better on Linux.
It’s not the future… it’s the present for all users running mobile linux-based computing devices called Android smartphones. The paradigm is very similar to Atomic distros. As for what the future might hold for linux, that remains to be seen.
The Atomic UX has proven very popular with mainstream users running by Steam Deck and similar devices as running Bazzite. They may not be aware how they are built, they just know it just works and that’s all they need.
As for the maintainers, containerized development removes a lot of development time, provided they have experience in cloud native development environments. Old school developers get annoyed by this constraints.
All in all, it’s just another alternative, don’t diss it out of fear it might take over the Linux scene… let others have what they need, provided by Linux and open source software.
Thanks a lot, I will try this !

You can subscribe to a feed and browse the catalogue and download a book. Some popular OPDS catalogues are:
- Feedbooks
- Internet Archive
- Manybook
- Project Gutenberg
- Standard Ebooks
- unglue.it
If you use Linux, check out Foliate reader from Flathub.
CasaOS is very easy to use and it’s a good starting option so you can test if self-hosting is for you. If you outgrow CasaOS, I can recommend an intermediate solution called: Coolify.
I work with figma using the browser. What are the benefits of the desktop app?
Right now on Linux, it’s only possible with Nvidia, right? I have an old 1060 on my server. (all-AMD on my Desktop).
Here I am again.
I’ve been fantasizing of making a simple GS GUI.
I use Ghostscript for postprocessing the PDF files. What do yo I use to add a color profile for example?
Well, I replied to two comments. I was just trying to let them learn the actual cause of OP’s problem so they can help others in the future. I am sorry if I didn’t follow proper etiquette.
