If you're even the least bit interested you really should try it. I swapped my 79 year old mother-in-law over to Pop and she hasn't had an issue yet going on 4 years.

I plan to do that. But my grandpa goes into ragemode when something doesn't work as it used to, and my grandma fully relies on buttons being where they always are and where, as she's nearly blind. It's gonna take a lot of theming to support that.

Sounds like a job for KDE Plasma.

And a lot of time customizing

Or just use Mint's cinnamon desktop which is already pretty close to the Windows layout
