Next stop: Linux gaming
Anybody that already has had a computer for 2 years and is coming from Windows will have almost no problems with Mint. Stability is top priority for first time Linux users and you need some visual guide with screenshots. Mint also has a great default look and setup for people coming from Windows. Mint is probably the best distro to put on your mom's old laptop that is "getting slow" because of viruses.
I'd recommend KDE Neon or Ubuntu also depending on the situation but if I don't know anything about the person and computer I'd say Mint.
Having a good relationship with coworkers is in general great in my opinion and talking about personal life, politics and religion can be avoided with for example:
- "I'm not that into politics"
- "sorry, I don't like talking about religion"
- "Sorry, that's a part I like to keep private" Also always steer conversations towards work topics and problems.
Then there are ways to differently stop conversations like
- "Sorry, I'm feeling tired today" < all nurses should relate
- "Sorry, I'm not in the mood for talking right now"
Then there's the general fact that often you don't really don't have to say anything as long as you listen and ask exploratory questions. I'm autistic and can barely keep a conversation going but this goes pretty well for me without a lot of effort. Just say stuff like:
- "So you're saying that [literally rephrasing their point]"
- "So does that mean that..."
- "That must have been tricky"
- "That sounds hard/tricky/difficult"
- "Did you manage?"
- "So what did you do/end up doing?"
- "That sucks"
And if they somehow end up being sad and almost crying which happens more often than I'd like to admit you can just say "That sucks" put a hand on their shoulder and wait.
Another option would be to invite them to silence like:
- "I'm spent, do you want to sit over there, relax and eat in silence?"
People are sometimes uncomfortable with silence but not as much when it's on purpose.
It's just conversation lubricant. If you feel like the conversation is interesting then "Have you thought about doing X?".
I can't stress enough how much people will like you by just actively listening.
But always, be like the British monarchy, never take sides. Instead propose neutral hypotheticals like "Maybe they were having a bad day". I've been in my fair share of gossip but acting as Switzerland manages to just avoid most of it. When people say "Why are you hanging out with X" then responding with "They never did anything to me". If really pressed for opinion then say "I don't know all the details so I can't really give an honest opinion". If they still press you after that you have my condolences since that's toxic.
Currently all you have to do is heat up an insulated pile of sand with almost free electricity and stick a pipe in too.

There's a method to put headphones into your pocket without them tangling. Fold them in half always instead of coiling them up.
I think this is plausible, also the fact that when you lean your head a little bit forward you expose the front of the skull which is the thickest part while the chin prevents people from punching your neck.
