Oh shit my dad is actually considering switching to Linux cause none of the PCs in my parents' house can officially update to Windows 11

@hazelnot I expect that we're going to see a lot of this in the next few years, to be honest, it's Vista all over again except this time there's a credible alternative

hazelnot :yell:

@joepie91 the thing I'm mainly worried about is that he bought some nonsense he's not even using (Corel VideoStudio Pro for example) that's gonna stop him from switching just based on FOMO 💀

He said his options are Mint or Ubuntu, I told him Mint is good but maybe look into Fedora KDE instead of Ubuntu

No idea how well he's gonna do with that information, he's better at computer stuff than most people his age at least, so that's gonna give him an advantage, I'm just not entirely sure if/when he's gonna have to use the terminal for *something* how he's gonna react

Haven't used Mint in years either, at least with something with KDE I can mostly direct him towards Discover so he can use Flatpaks and stuff and the built-in Flatpak permissions UI 😅
