I'm about to set up a non-root user on a Centos=7 server that I
control
for a friend. It is in his home, so access is local. He's a refugee from the latest Windows 10 Upgrade. I'd like a suggestion as to
which of
the several possible graphical desktops to suggest to him and set up
for
him as his default.
My aim is:
- Allow him to try out Linux as an end-user
- Let him start to feel comfortable with the desktop
- Learn the new idioms for familiar programs and functions
And later
- Give him his own system with root privileges.
IMHO whatever DE (eg Gnome2, Mate or KDE) should work except for the thinnest ones (eg xfce), which are are likely to be scary for a former Windows refugee.
The most important thing to not forget though, is to add and apply the Redmond theme!
