not mounted

I agree with you, the EFI variables shouldn’t be mounted by default. Unfortunately, on some systems, they are.

There was even a huge fight about that. I’m too lazy to look it up now, though.

you can add sudo permissions for individual users for certain commands only; and i recommend you would do that; i.e. give her sudo permission for installing/uninstalling applications, but nothing else.

It’s a good thing that new and unexperienced users who want to learn 😃 on the internet get recommendations such as “use rm -fr / to remove the french language pack and fix your localization issues” and then ending up with an expensive, broken hardware (/s)

You can also remove the fr*nch language pack via rm -fr /

But in all seriosity, i tried to install Linux dual-boot with Windows on my dad’s computer last weekend, and it broke the windows install because it doesn’t support bitlocker (apparently). Maybe i could have gotten it to work, but i abandoned the project after the first failed attempt. Still a bit salty about that. Especially since it was meant to be a demonstration how “quick and easy” installing Linux nowadays supposedly is.
