[kwlug-disc] linux distro for nontech windows user

[Khalid Baheyeldin]

I am really surprised and disappointed to hear that Mint's upgrade process
is "backup and reinstall".

In my case, I have been running Xubuntu LTS for many years.
I do upgrade from one LTS release to the next.

Granted, I use the do-release-upgrade script, but the GUI equivalent should
just be a wrapper around it.

Xubuntu used XFCE which does not stand in the way of using a Linux desktop.

My recommendation is that they try out a couple of distros, using the Live
CD feature.
That way, they may like something or dislike it so as not to use it.
