I went to Linux out of techie obstinance, but looking at the insane number of “Backup to OneDrive”, “Ask Copilot” poison-patterns Windows is constantly adding to 11, I’m really starting to consider whether to suggest Mint to my parents.
I want them to have an experience as close as possible to Windows as they’re used to it - and that may not come from Windows anymore.
Do it, got my parents on mint and I daily mint. Other than the occasional trouble shooting, and command prompt work that I do for them when needed, they have been loving it.
And of course pixels for the whole family, as always ;)
Linux mint is great. Even if they need to use the console, there are only so many basic commands they need (and you can write them down in a text file) that they copy-paste that it is a trivia process.
Gotta throw out all the old pc’s. We need win11 in our lives ❤
