The essentials would be:
-has a*good* Windows migration assistant, which must be able to handle
Windows 10; I know that Ubuntu used to have this.
-glibc-based, so that Flash and Avast Workstation will work
(at least one of the friends in question uses avast on Windows)
-has Chromium (and preferably Chrome)
-has Open/LibreOffice (one of the friends in question has used OpenOffice
on Windows since...7 or 8 years ago, I think)
-DE familiar to Windows users (if Trinity were more active, I'd go with
that without hesitation; but I suspect properly configured Xfce or Mate
may be better at this point.)
-can install to hard drive, though support for Live CD is desired.
-binary based
Highly preferred:
-not rolling release, since one of the friends in question is rather
upset about the new Windows mandatory automatic update policy.
-non-systemd based, so that I can help debug issues; OpenRC or sysv-rc
preferred
-dpkg/apt based, since that's the package manager I'm most familiar with.
-easy-to-navigate system administration GUI.
-wireless GUI that doesn't require preconfiguring wpa_supplicant.
Xfce is friendly, intuitive and easy to configure.
For wireless, if you don't mind installing Qt, which, I think, is
not a problem on a desktop, then wpagui is a very friendly helper to
talk with wpasupplicant.
