Hello everybody, new to the community.
My parents are in Europe and I want to send them a Linux based laptop, they just use Skype and browse the net, maybe an e-mail now and then.
Currently they use Windows and it's becoming a pain, they are almost completely computer illiterate and every time windows pushed an upddate everything is messed up.
I want to be able to remote into this laptop in case they mess something up, and teach them how to work it - or fix it myself.
Asking for advice - I want something that will not require permission from their end, and it's very basic and easy to use on my end. Also I will need admin rights to be able to access everything.
I am an average Linux user, not completely ignorant but have a lot more to learn.
I currently run MX Linux on my home computer. The plan is to install a very easy to use distro on my other laptop, put Firefox, Skype and maybe an e-mail shortcuts on the desktop and send it in - so I can setup both computers here in the US.
Any thoughts appreciated.
