Nice! I switched my parents over to Firefox and OpenOffice years ago, so switching them over to Linux Mint was just a matter of showing them where the update button was now. (Their laptops are completely functional for their purposes, but couldn't be "upgraded" from Windows 10 to 11.) Scratch another few off the MS list forever.
