  • It depends on what you plan on using it for.

    Just simple tablet stuff like browsing and watching videos? Probably fine.

    Using it like a laptop as they claim it can be used? No way with those specs.

    If you’re not super familiar with Linux on touch devices, it’s still a bit wonky, no matter which DE you choose, though I would say GNOME is currently in the lead over the larger bunch with some of the strides they made this past year. Still FAR from perfect though.















  • The distro doesn’t matter, the Desktop Environment does.

    If they are used to MacOS and want something simple and “out of the way”, go with Gnome.

    If they are used to Windows, go with KDE.

    Fedora is probably the most straightforward to install and manage right now. You won’t need to “lock down” anything if you don’t give them sudo credentials.and just a regular user account.
