One of the greatest bands, vs one of the worst people.
What a tool

I’m in the UK and tend to do this. I don’t notice it done by most people though.
We do seem to have a learned behaviour to queue here, so it makes sense to me that some people maintain a virtual queue in their head.

Well the OP was asking what the difference between the version from the f-droid repo and the version from the Izzy repo is. I am now also curious about the difference between those two versions.
How does this answer the question? It describes the difference between 3 versions (google, github, f-droid), none of which are Izzy. Is Izzy version one of those?

Yeah that was the thing that alerted me.

This, except install LineageOS and don’t bother with removing google/Samsung stuff. And skip whatsapp as my older contacts email me and younger ones have moved to Signal
This really depends on her hardware specs and what applications she needs to use.
Without knowing any of that, I would suggest Linux Mint. It is desktop user focussed and a good general OS. It includes drivers and common software in their version of an app store.
Debian is my distro of choice, but is not ideal for a new Linux user.
I would suggest checking what apps she needs and making sure they are available on Linux, or that a close equivalent is. Any apps that will be replaced, try the replacement out on Windows first if available. For example Adobe Illustrator to Inkscape, or MS Office to Libre Office.
For data transfer:
As others have said. Backup the current computer fully. This in probably best done on an external hard drive. Make sure you know how to reinstall windows and restore from the backup.
Copy all her data onto a different external hard drive. This is not the backup. It is a separate drive.
Make sure all the data is actually on the external hard drive and readable from a different machine. Ideally boot from a Lunx live USB and check that the data can be accessed from the external drive.
Install her distro of choice.
Copy her data from the external HDD to her user account’s home folder of newly installed Linux.
