From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

If she's used to Windows, KDE might be a better choice. It runs well on my 2012 Intel i3 dual core, 8GB RAM laptop.
Last time I tried KDE was like 2013… it has been a long time. How does it play with flatpacks designed for gnome?
I just installed the Flatpak version of Inkscape (the first GTK application, that came into my mind, where it makes sense to have the latest version installed) and the Breeze dark theme works for me.
I'm using Debian Bookworm btw ;-)
I use some GNOME apps and they work fine. KDE has good support for GTK theming ;)
