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?”

        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 :)
