I did recommend Mint (although I use EndeavourOS myself), but he’s not interested anymore.
It probably didn’t help that I recently recommended him to buy Nvidia rather than AMD for a recent upgrade, because Nvidia had lower power requirements, and I don’t his his PSU would have been able to handle the comparable AMD.
