My vote is still for KDE
I would agree, unhappy Windows 10 user will be pleased by KDE, or latest GNOME that is installed by default on CentOS 7. I also would add mate, so if user still have mental ability to categorize things, he/she may be happier to stick with menus arranged by category, instead of being forced to stop using brain and use search instead as latest KDE and Gnome make you (someone said they only make happy the "iPad generation" of people ;-)
Just my $0.02

It's got a similar feel to Windows before it went pear shaped at Win8. It's fairly easy to use. He should be able to do most stuff as a user.

Folks
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.
Suggestions?
David
