And for a new user, if Mint is being considered then how about this similar in spirit but much cooler Ubuntu respin alternative?

Pop!_OS: https://pop.system76.com/

Although with Debian 11 out within the last fortnight I'd set the user up with that in preference over Mint. "It has more green" is a poor reason to use a distro over the original :]

Mint (am using 20.2) installation does complain about there not being a UEFI partition - assuming that option is enabled on the motherboard, but if you're brave - or, like me, stubborn - and ignore it the system does install OK and seems to work.
