    I mentioned to my dad how much windows 11 sucks to use and he agreed that he can’t stand it

    So naturally, I told him about Linux, which he literally had never heard of before. I told him I’ll show him how to restore one of his old laptops with it, and he can go from there. Knowing him, I can’t wait to see “how cool” he thinks it is that he can just “fix” his own computer

    And I’ve already converted my wife, instead of buying a new MacBook cause hers is showing it’s age. She keeps her Mac for backup, but the main computer is Linux Mint. She’s even started to understand the terminal a little, even though she doesn’t really have to

    Slowly converting family and friends, simply because computers are expensive and windows sucks so hard now

      “my friend recommended I use Ubuntu”

      me (screaming internally, about canonical, about snaps, about bloat): “That… that’s good. Good choice.”
