the survival kit

you need :

 an O.S. - i recommend an easy one like Ubuntu Mate - although it looks very scary (/ different then windows) at the first sight...

and a bundle of software:

 - a terminal - preinstalled
(i will teach you a few things here)

 - browser - Mozilla (this does not yet have preinstalled the 2 most important words in the history of the internet = "how to...?")

 - file manager
(with few, very simple "hacks")

 - office suit = Libre Office

 - media player = vlc

 - audio player=
rythmbox & easy-tag (easy tag is not preinstalled)

 - photo manager
geeqie (not preinstalled) & shotwell viewer
