I installed Elementary OS on a computer I built for a friend's kid, because I wanted something that was easy to use and low maintenance. It was pretty good from that point of view, but eventually that release got outdated and I discovered that they don't suppose upgrades between major versions.

    That's unfortunate indeed. Currently I gravitate towards installing something like Endless OS for either elderly people or children. Automatic atomic updates from the get go on an immutable distro based on Debian Stable; just good stuff. FWIW, it allows updates between major versions as well 😉.

    Perhaps we'll give that a try since we're going to have to wipe his computer anyway.. They live quite far away so the top prio is something that won't require me to go there and fix the computer every now and then :)
