Finally did it, got my parent on linux.
Finally did it, got my parent on linux.
They're in their 60's, finally convinced them.
They say things like "This is the same..."
and I'm like
"Ya because that's Firefox, the only program you use..."
"What was Windows even doing for us?"
You're viewing a single thread.
What distro did you get them on?
Ubuntu as its what Im most familiar with
Does it really matter? IMO the only thing that matters is that they got rid of Windows
No it doesn't, but my 75yo dad has been asking/thinking about switching when Windows 10 eol.
Most of my Linux/Unix experience is at the server level.
Fwiw, I'd say put him on FedoraKDE or Mint. Mint is the classic beginner distro now that Ubuntu has lost favor, and I just have a thing for Fedora, but it's a popular distro with plenty of help available and KDE feels pretty windows-y (or windows stole from KDE but who's counting.)
Thanks, I'll check them out. I've heard mint a few times as a good beginner distro. I'll probably dual boot my PC on whatever I am gonna recommend him for a bit so I get my bearings and can support him a bit :)
