Hi, what OS would you recommend I install for mum (Windows, Ubuntu, else) on HP laptop 8gb RAM 15.6 inches, and Ryzen 5.
She is not used to Linux, she is a very traditional user. Basely, the windows is… in hers work enviornment and at home, but is there any windows 10 that is like super … easy.
Do you think it would be a good idea to switch her to Ubuntu? It is important that the PC has Serbian or Croatian language support.

If all she ever does is in a browser, maybe install Linux (Fedora Silverblue would be nice).

Otherwise just let her use Windows.

Android still has 4.x kernel.
Very old right?

There are phones with 5.4 or 5.10, and phones with mainline.

I’m trying to make the point to him that having older kernels doesn’t mean the os is old itself.

Of course. I can use Android 11 with kernel 3.10 on my old phone if I wish to.

what partition you wanna create ?

Boot one

haidarvm 2022-07-17 10:17:13
/boot use ext4
Idel_Gataullin 2022-07-17 10:17:40
haidarvm 2022-07-17 10:17:13
/boot use ext4

I solved already. I had EFI partition already

haidarvm 2022-07-17 10:18:05
/boot/efi partition choose EFI System Partition

To be fair, it’s 5.18 if you run -current.
