The other day I was considering switch my mom's PC from Windows to Linux. She is the type of user who do almost everything on the browser (Gmail, Google Docs, Google Photos, YouTube, Netflix, Spotify, read stuff), off the cloud maybe some MP3, photos and documents; I mean, no command lines, no read tutorials to do something, no annoyances, easy to give up on something with too much steps.

I was considering installing the distro Elementary OS or Ubuntu. Do you think that Fedora can be a good option too? Which of the three is best for that user case?

A thing to consider is that her laptop is a bit old, from 2005-2010 I think. I remember that has 2 GB of RAM. She upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10 and say that now runs faster than before. The new OS shouldn't run slower than Windows 10.

I'm on a decision paralysis because on Elementary OS I see most simplicity (OS X in mind), in Ubuntu more speed and trust that is not going to crash (large user base), and now I discover Fedora and see that can have a good mix of both.

Let me know what you think. Thanks!

Installed Ubuntu 11.10, had no tech calls since...

Now I would rather advice to go Debian w/ Mate desktop. Debian testing is stable and very reasonable, Mate seems golden middle between XFCE/GNOME/Cinnamon.

One thing I would love to see is a folder-based music view like you have artist/album views.

I don't tag my songs, I just organise them in folders about three levels deep. What I'd like to see is a folder tree of my music folder on the left and all the files in that folder, plus all subfolders recursively, on the right. The only player I remember getting this right was amarok (now clementine). I've never once in my life ever wanted my songs listed by album or artist. I have my file manager to organise my files and they're already organised. It's really silly to ask me to organise them again in a different way that doesn't really fit my organisational style.
