First of all, I would question - do you actually need 2 user accounts?
From a conceptual security point of view, absolutely... even for desktop

In my house, everyone tends to be using a web browser, and to logout (or switch
users) is more hassle than it's worth
Well I thought so. Her files, documents, photos etc are quite different
and separate from mine. It seems obvious to me to keep her stuff
separate. I don't want her files and mine to be mixed up together. Plus,
this is a temporary arrangement. Once I have sorted out the business of
her own, failing, laptop she will not be using my laptop again. I might
for example get her a brand new one, or replace her HD.
However...
If you are intending to actually use it "properly", then absolutely, that's a great

What Distro are you using (sorry, I dive in and out of forums and forget these

I am using MX Linux 19 which is based on Debian 10.
Thanks,
Neil
