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.

In the update settings she can reset her apt sources back to "default". It's not too hard and there's a gui throughout the process (from memory).
The package conflicts is an interesting one, if you have the time to post one of these on lemmy I'm sure someone will suggest a fix. It's probably a
apt install --fix-brokenor something simple (hopefully) but I'm sure we could work it out.Totally agree that these are annoying issues though. See if you can use Nala, it's a TUI front end for Apt and it's got some nice user changes like if you run upgrade it updates and upgrades. It also has a fetch feature which finds nearby sources, so you're always downloading from the closest/fastest source.
It might be that it is just asking weather to replace modified configuration files by the default new config file provided by the updated package or keep the old, modified, one.
