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.

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

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,
