Linux. You'll be glad you did.

Free. Easy to install. Never gets viruses. Never crashes. Rock solid.

Runs good on old machines. Runs like lightning on new machines.

I've installed it for 3 old ladies (3 separate installs). They like its simplicity and low-bullshit.

I personally use Debian with a Mate desktop.

My issue with Linux at the minute is all the different app stores and package managers.

It doesn't really bother me tbh.

KDE's Discover app pulls from the distro package manager, snap, and flat hub. AppImages to me are like "portable" executables and don't really need an app store. However you can use Gear Lever to update them.
