Mint is best but if that don’t work try Fedora KDE.
I also recommend watching The Linux Experiment’s videos

A guy kept arguing Linux sucked because no games work on it and especially not Black Desert Online. Here’s the kicker: this argument took place in the BDO chat, while I and another poor soul were playing (and chatting) from Linux. I even made a tutorial on YouTube on how to play the game on Linux, he still didn’t believe I was playing on Linux because “it’s simply impossible”.
Yeah just erase files
Just FYI, or rather FTI, the arch wiki can still be a useful tool for non-arch distro. Debian also has a wiki.
They need to understand there are differences between arch and Mint, of course, and also some between Debian and Mint to an extent, but those tools can still provide helpful info.
Fedora, specifically the DE you are using.
I normally go with Mint as a recommendation but generally speaking you must understand these people will ask you for help for any small issue, so it will be a lot easier if you use the system yourself.
Now, I use ArchBTW with KDE, and I would never recommend arch to a new user (KDE is a good choice tho), meaning I normally recommend Mint (from experience I know noobs love it), so I am in this awkward situation where I have to provide tech support to mint users usually (tho TBF so far only 1 person and the real issue is that his laptop is dying but he hasn’t come to terms with it) and it is sometimes annoying because I don’t know the settings layout and all that stupid GUI shit (I love using the CLI a lot if you couldn’t tell)

Make her install Gentoo in her own and make sure to berate her at every step /s
Personally I would go with something that has KDE so she gets fancy animations and stuff, but Mint is a perfectly valid choice too (cinnamon also has some cool stuff to toy around with but not as much imo). Just make sure to show her how to install stuff, and put adblockers and shit in the browser. Also highly recommend installing some of the linux games.

Just cause you opt out of those features doesn’t mean the car doesn’t have other mandatory shit that connects to the internet to, say, sell data like the exact times and locations of when you have sex.
Inb4 “but I don’t have to worry about it cause I don’t have sex” we know, but that’s not the only thing they gather data on.

Both of my statements are correct. Cars shouldn’t have internet and there should be less cars. In total absence of offline cars (meaning no used cars, nothing at all), use bikes and public transportation if you can.
I mean you literally asked for an alternative and I gave you one.

Public transit/bikes are (or should be) a good alternative if you can’t find normal, used, dumb cars anymore

And this is another reason why putting internet on cars is a bad idea
Performing open heart surgery on yourself

It was my phone shitting itself ok? You silly little mean bug
True but you can still disable it and I think they’re required to let you disable it
Is that even legal according to the GDPR?
Physically set yourself on fire so you don’t have to lose 50% of everything

Rip out its flesh, destroy it in vengeance and replace it with some raspberry pi running pi-hole or turn it into a retro-gaming console

there’s quite a few logs. Most say nothing at all or nothing useful.
running cat /var/log/samba/log.* the relevant parts (those datestamped at today) are probably these:

stupid question but where exactly can I find these logs?
Server uses linux so I can probably find them somehow but idk about the windows client
Tbh I haven’t had that issue in a while om KDE, tho TBF I don’t stream often. Screensharing on discord, meets, etc works perfectly fine tho, and I did manage to stream something with OBS.
