I've met some of those people who use linux despite being normal. They complain constantly about Ubuntu's desktop user interface changing. I remind them gently that in linux-land all that crap is optional, but you have to give up on any claim to normalcy... and probably your disk auto-mounter... and any apps that blow up when they aren't able to choose their own size.
- rmsaksida 10y agoI've been having a good run with Ubuntu MATE. MATE Desktop is based around Gnome 2 which is familiar to everyone, and it has sensible choices for all default programs. Ubuntu MATE doesn't have nearly as much bloat as standard Ubuntu, but has all its niceties. I recommend it if you want a 'normal' experience out of Linux.
- Zardoz84 10y agoTry KDE. Not sane defaults, but you can change at your pleasure.
- aurelianito 10y agoSwitch them to lubuntu. It is as close to Windows 98 as you can get. I mean it in a good way. It is my standard Linux distribution. All the Ubuntu packages but a simple UI.
