My brother, a long-time windoze user, suggested to me last night that he might give Linux a try. Looking at the Trinity website, I see a plethora of Live Disk images for various distros available; but which one is most likely to give him a stable and versatile experience? He is already somewhat skeptical, having seen my occasional struggles with multimedia issues on my OpenSuSE machine*. (This opportunity will also give me some exposure to Debian-based distros, a probable plus.)

- (OpenSuSE does not seem to think that multimedia is important, and its
support is somewhat sketchy compared with home-computer oriented distros).
MX Linux https://mxlinux.org/
Huge dev team that has made it a really easy user experience. It's very easy to build a Live USB (Xfce). And the MX Package Installer simplifies adding many popular applications. TDE can be added to the MXPI

If you're interested, I'll ask in the MX forum what the steps would be to add TDE to their Live USB.
Best, Michael
Well, I was really looking to use one of the ready-made Trinity ISOs. It looks like maybe focal is the latest one? (This business of names instead of release numbers isn't very friendly IMO.) Is it reasonably stable? I don't want this windoze user to have a bad experience.
