Tonight I am about to install endless os for my non technical partner. Do you think that is a good idea? Would you do the same?

It’s worth a shot. Non-technical users are it’s target demographic.
I would pick something immutable like this. Non-technical users aren’t going to get under the hood and tinker, like many Linux users do.
Turns out she needs a bit of proprietary software (pixum for photo books) that I could not install on EndlessOS. So I had to change course and installed pop os. So far I am pleasantly suprised. Even though I thought I would not like it, their take on GNOME makes sense to me. Tiling is fun.
PopOS is currently developing their own spin on a immutable OS, but that’s still a long way from shipping to users. I’m curious, if other distros broke, why would it be different with current PopOS?
Did not know this. Immutable Ubuntu plus flatpack sounds awesome. Not sure what to think about their plans to fork cosmic from GNOME.
