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’ve just ben talking with my kind of tech illiterate gf about switching hers to Linux too, since she saw some articles about Copilot and Recall, which she hates with passion. Should I go for Mint or PopOS, assuming she does game on steam a lot (nothing with anticheat, thankfully)? She’s working in a GSuite/Slack workshop, so there shouldn’t be any problems with that. However, she does have NVIDIA GPU, which was the cause for most troubles for me.

    I’m on Nobara, but that’s because I’ve always preferred Fedora, and it isn’t exactly a smooth sailing. Nothing major, but I suppose one of the two I mentioned would be a better choice.
