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 don’t know of many distros that enable automatic updates out of the box, you usually have to enable it after installing.
You can do that in Mint too: https://linuxhint.com/configure-updates-automatically-linux-mint/
Fedora Atomic Desktops, many more “immutable” distros do
Immutable distros aren’t the norm though.
Didnt say that. I just said “Linux mint does not auto update so people will ignore it”.
It is useful that it can be enabled. But keep that in mind, I know people that ignore updates if they arent forced to.
