  • I’ll just leave it here for easy access:

    Besson’s second wife was actress and director Maïwenn Le Besco, whom he started dating when he was 32 and she was 15. They married in late 1992 when Le Besco, 16, was pregnant with their daughter Shanna, who was born on 3 January 1993. Le Besco later claimed that their relationship inspired Besson’s film Léon (1994), where the plot involved the emotional relationship between an adult man and a 12-year-old girl (played by then 12-year-old Natalie Portman). Their marriage ended in 1997, when Besson became involved with actress Milla Jovovich, then 19, during the production of The Fifth Element (1997). “We sensed the special chemistry between us immediately at the auditions and it just intensified during the filming of the movie,” said Jovovich.

    He married Jovovich on December 14, 1997, when he was 38 and she was 21. They divorced in 1999.

    They’re both great starters, imo! Xfce or LMDE is a solid choice for Linux beginners.

    Xfce was a little too minimal for me & iirc it’s canonical-based. I chose lmde specifically bc I prefer Debian. I can’t recall if I had any major issues setting up either of them. I think it also just comes down to visual/aesthetic preferences. They’re both highly customizable so either way you’re good!

    I’m gonna set up xfce for my dad on an old Dell desktop & i’m sure he’ll appreciate how close it is to windows right out of the box. 📦


  • Great write up, but OP stated they’re not computer savvy. I’m sure more ppl have used flash drives than used VMs. They are also building a new pc so gotta get those distros from somewhere/another machine.

    Another option would be to grab a couple of 4GB or more flash drives and try each one by booting from the flash drive before committing to one.

    • download something like balena etcher
    • download Mint, Ubuntu, PopOs, Aurora, whatever else
    • use etcher to burn distros to the flash drives
    • pop in the flash in new pc & have at it

    Linux Mint LMDE is always my recommendation to friends & fam who are leaving Win & Mac environments. LMDE bc ease of use/install & stability.

    Slight learning curve, but that goes with anything new to a person when it comes to tech. Linux Mint forums are also legit for quick answers.

    Good luck regardless of what you choose! Don’t let the negative feedback get you down! 🍀
