The worst thing about Linux is its users
As someone like your husband, I use garuda too and definitely recommend he use something else (probably something like kubuntu), but my main recommendation is that if he’s not willing to switch it himself (ideally as a dual boot) he’s not ready to switch. I don’t bother my computer expert wife with my bizarre problems, just like I didn’t on windows.
Personally I’m never switching back to windows. Though seriously, your husband should probably have something either simple or immutable and be prepared to do his own tech support.
He really tries not to bother me, but the screaming gets my attention and when he’s about to physically destroy the computer I feel I have to step in and fix it. That being said, he is not comfortable installing it himself so I want something that provokes the minimal amount of hand-holding. Honestly, the biggest issue with me not putting Garuda on his system is that he needs Davinci Resolve for his work and it doesn’t install directly off the AUR, you have to download the application separately from Black Magic Design’s site and edit the build file. He is not going to understand how to do that.
Oh yeah if he’s at the screaming and attacking the computer level thats wildly different, I’d interpreted it as moderate frustration at a problem that’s not going away
