Cinnamon would be better for her, in my opinion, because it's similar to Windows 7 in many logical concepts. I have many older people who have been using Mint Cinnamon since 2019, and I haven’t had to fix anything for them since then. Before that, it was a nightmare because they would click on any ads, and advertising malware would pollute the entire system.

It still powerful laptop actually, any distro will work but for newbie mint ofc :)

Does lutris support advanced configuration of disabling enabling dxvk ,switch of locales,easy tool to install windows dependencies for usual software not games,creating full prefix backup and restoring it later on other devices ,controlling environment variables?

But I suppose u are working in live environment loaded from iso ,so u should be already comporissed then if some process can read ur files. What's ur threat model

Why use variables and put it in json or simple text file which u can read later

Create own proxy server with cheap vps

Microsoft and vendors killing s3 deep sleep on bios levels and often on hardware level ,so laptops actually behaving more like phones with s2idle .on windows it kind gonna be same ,our choice find vendor who support yet s3 sleep or buy old hardware up to 2020 which supported s3

About flatpak u remove flahthub repository and add again repo to flatpak,about shadow play.u could use any distro actually and install it in distrobox i think it would work fine u can try out.

The best what u can do,it's run in the browser with https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/zoom-redirector/

In some release they removed gdebi package installer so it made unavailable to install deb files with gui

No script cannot protect u from on websites which require js for work and thus it cannot protect u from creepjs things and so it required to spoof everything from resolution to os fingerprints

I don't trust for browser if honestly https://blog.torproject.org/new-release-tor-browser-145/

Before they were spoofing user agent now not hidding
