Change from single click to double click to open!
I guess theming would make a lot of the work, I don't remember the names but there are a few plasma themes that aim to mimic windows 10 and 11. If not the entire theme, the icons at least would make it way more intuitive.
For the office suite you might want to check out OnlyOffice(or even freeoffice), it probably looks more modern and less jarring than libreoffice for someone coming from recent versions of MS Office.
The start menu also has versions of it more similar to the windows one, but the standard one Is much better, maybe it's a change she can get used to.
Make sure the desktop is in Folder View, so she can put files and folders on it, and set Dolphin's view to the one she's used to, icons or details.
I'm not sure for gaming, but maybe check beforehand if hers work on kubuntu.
Finally I'd make a post-it explaining the names of programs: dolphin - > file explorer, Kate - > notepad, ark - > 7zip and so on. The most frustrating thing is looking for a program that should have an obvious name and finding only unknown nicknames, it takes a while to get used to!
Thank you very much for the detailed answer!
Installing OnlyOffice is an amazing idea, the UI is really similar to MS Office
And also the post it is great, as long as she learns to use it
Thanks!
