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 installed ElementaryOS for my parents because it looked slick and gorgeous.

    I actually have a lot of high praise for that product. But maybe it’s a bit too slick, like there’s an expectation of things “just working”.

    When an error hits, I was on the phone or a zoom call immediately. It felt like windows again.
