I'm upgrading my father-in-laws 2011 imac (Intel, amd GPU) to an ssd, 16GB ram, and planning on putting an immutable linux OS on it for him since he primarily uses the browser anyways.
Any recommendations for non-techy seniors/gotchas for installing it on a mac?
I was thinking fedora silverblue since GNOME should feel more familiar than KDE for him.
I really liked the interface of the desktop manager in Elementary OS. I think it used the Pantheon desktop.
I tried it and fell in love with it. Though I did run into a few problems while installing applications. But if you're keeping it basic it shouldn't be a problem.
I don't think they make an immutable distro though.
You may want to look into Vanilla OS 2.0. I'm seriously considering it a my daily driver.
