So my dad hates technology and can't use a computer, but wants something he can browse the internet with. I have a shitty old HP laptop with Windows XP that I could give him, but I'm thinking he'd struggle with anything that isn't a tablet. What do you recommend /g/? Install GNU/Linux? Get a tablet? Windows 98?

Chromebook.

XP's pretty simple, install Chrome and make sure it's the only icon on his desktop, set the Homepage as his email and make sure passwords are automatically saved for ease of use.

Just give the cocksucker a tablet.

If he cant use it he is literally more retarded than a kid.

Give him a smart phone to surf the net, then he will hate technology even more and stop wanting to surf the net. Problem solved. Then OP and shitpost about something else, like how his mother wants to surf the net.

Get him a cheap Chromebook. They just fine for basic web browsing, and are close to idiot proof.

I honestly think a keyboard and mouse might be too much for him. This is someone who can't move and click a mouse in one step and without looking at the mouse.

Openbox/Debian

Update cycle is minimal. You can strip Openbox easier so it just has two buttons. Internet and off
