There are always stories of people installing Linux on their parents computer to provide them a more secure and stable operating system, seems interesting to share experiences.

Edit: I’m assuming that parents are okay with the changes, or do not care. Obviously do not force anyone to switch OS if they don’t want to.

    I am here to also echo Mint being great. I installed it on a pretty old laptop and it’s very snappy.

    The migration process was not difficult at all.

    Yeah, you know Chrome? It’s this button now, this is the internet.

    Your emails? Yeah they’re this button now. Just remember that, okay?

    Most people use computers as a means to an end and they are not really particular about what’s happening behind the scenes so long as it functions for their needs.
