So i’m currently managing a small store and running MX Linux as main OS on all desktops, because i want to spread Debian words in my city, but people are often regretting on using my desktops for my system.

Any tips for making them less fearful on using Linux, i’m about half year running MX as my main OS, so my experience is not as a totally beginner, much less as a sysadmin.

Any help would gratefully appreciated.

    IMO Cinnamon DE or MATE are the most like Windows desktop.

    If they don’t like Libreoffice you could get them on OnlyOffice or WPS Office instead. Those are both better.

    I don’t see XFCE or KDE to be beginners desktop environments to be candid. They’re great desktops but from a beginner perspective you probably want Cinnamon. Deepin is getting there but it’s buggy. Cinnamon is the easiest, MATE is good on system resources. But XFCE is too bare bones for some people.
