Installing Wubuntu for a user whose laptop has gone to snails pace but seems a bit reluctant to move to Linux. He just needs to use office and browse the internet. Going to try him out on this with the win10 theme. This will be interesting to see how it goes.

@christopher thanks for bringing this to my attention. He's going to have to live with Linux Mint 👍🏻 okay Wubuntu is well and truly off my list. This is a shame as the features did look good for an m$ user

@kevie @christopher Linux Mint is a good choice for folks familiar with Windows. The updating and upgrade path is easy as well.
fedora has a Cinnamon spin which offers the Mint-style desktop but release upgrades are a very manual affair and the package manager (dnfdragora) is a bit clunky.
