People who have installed Linux on their parents computer, how did it go? Which distro do you recommend? Any tips? (lemmy.zip)

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 have the same PC as your mom.... I'm really fit for an upgrade.

If it works it works

It does everything she needs so she keeps on using it

Plus she got her rig from me as a gift a number of years ago
