Need to setup computer for grandpa. Which distro will save me from live time support?

Thought of Chromium OS?

    Windows

    It's simple, easy to understand and your grandpa is unlikely to want to run Android Studio and Docker with HyperV at the same time

    Haha no sorry. Tried that windows stuff long enough. I nearly had to help every fucking day.

    He's more or less using a web browser, so there is not much need for much OS around it.

    @cedrikschueler You could try to install arch and configure it into a maintainance free browser-prison.

    Or else use the preconfigured one called Mac OS

    Yes something like that "prison" was my idea.

    The more OS, the more problems can come up :P

    That's what I hoped to get from Chromium OS but I didn't have time to try it.

    Can someone be more precise why exactly it is shit?

    I used debian and installed Cinnamon as Desktop for my parents.

    A bit tweaking here and there and it just works.

    @Alice has explained very well why you should use Win CE you don't have to search any more https://devrant.com/rants/1648469/...

    Mint or ubuntu. Installed that for my parents and sister who are all highly a technical and still running stable after 5+ years! They find it much more easy to work with than windows as well.
