    I used zorin and pop OS but only use the browser as most of my work is browser based.

    Also I installed Zorin on my Nana’s PC. She keeps clicking on random shit. Her windows machine was infected with all kind of virus but her Linux machine is safe as none of the executable she dowbloads run on it

      She keeps clicking on random shit.

      Get an ad blocker on that browser.

          Sounds like it’s still quite a worry, maybe she’s safe from malicious software but sounds very prone to being mislead in to doing things by bad actors through her computer.

              Well done! You’re doing important work, letting her chill instead of get scammed. Besides the money loss, many of those phone scams are also traumatizing.
