Sorry man, haven't really tried Mint, maybe something more popular?

Lxde I've tried

Ubuntu gnome, kdegames
Long time ago fedora

Hook them on the new free games, Trojan mouse strategy, then learning the
interface is worth it.

Steam works in Linux...

Open/libreoffice isn't that far off bad co.

Translation sheet as everything has a new name, so help with the jargon,
name soup, and similarities may appear for the motivated

How to motivate people who may not want to be is another issue
