I figure there are some linux fans here, so hopefully someone has a suggestion.
My 70+ year old dad has a very old laptop that's still running XP. It's not worth paying money to update, but he still wants to use it. I figure linux was the way to go & normally would go right to Ubuntu. But I know a few years back they started their Unity front end and I don't think my dad could handle it. Is there something super-easy that a completely non-tech savvy older person could use? I've heard some decent things about Mint, but know nearly nothing about it. If not, I'm just going to boot & nuke the thing and tell him to give it away and buy a new computer. Thanks, Paul ᐧ
