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 would have agreed a long time ago, but I wouldn’t force anyone to switch to an OS filled with ads, telemetry, or mandatory hacks and registry keys modifications to be usable (Windows 10 and 11).

Edit: I forgot the requirement to have a Microsoft account which is the cherry on top.
