Just moved my parents onto Mint, they were hesitant at first but now doing great. MS is digging it's own grave.

    My 80 yr old mother got a laptop recently, W11. I downgraded to W10 LTSC, and dual boot with Mint, and ran Chris Titus' win util to decrapify. Two weeks later she had allowed windows to trick her into upgrading to W11 again.

    She's been using computers since the 70's, and owned PCs since the DOS era, but she just doesn't want to bother with anything but using her PC in autopilot mode. Couldn't care less about exploring Mint.
