Hi,
The workspaces one is a good one because one can easily swap
workspaces accidentally, without a single click of the mouse, touchpad
or keyboard.
Just swiping up or down while the pointer is towards the left of the
display does it for me.
I would probably keep them away from the command line.
Show them how to use a web browser, if they save a file, where to go
to find it again.
Show them libreoffice for writing letters, spreadsheets, and where it
saves files and where to go to find them again.
Show them how to share pictures and videos with friends.
Show them how to plug their phone into the laptop and transfer photos
and videos.
Show them how to backup their valuable photos, videos and documents.
Show them how to find the game to play patience or sudoku or similar.
I think that would cover a high percentage of today's use cases.
Kind Regards
James
