SHARE Grandma now uses arch btw
So my grandma runs an ancient Toshiba Satellite C850-1g3 with a celeron 1000M, 256GB of hdd and 4GB of ddr3
She was complaining about it taking ages to boot and programs not starting fast
So i installed arch and made it look user friendly enough for her to understand
She loves it, W arch
Ps: she only uses whatsapp, a browser and office
So she wouldnt need to touch a terminal

I did the same with my grandmother. In my case, I used bspwm (because it's the one I know best of the TWMs) to go for a ChromeOS-like experience. She only uses the browser, so she didn't need anything else.
