Greetings, I am asking whether Linux has helped your family or not going from Windows to a friendly distribution that caters to young or elderly.
How was your experience with helping relatives or your kids with Linux? Was it because of an older spec machine? Costs etc?
I helped get my grandmother (dad’s side) to move from windows 8.1 to Linux Mint which so far has been good, she only really browses and required some basic budgeting apps.
This was on something like an older core i3 or i5 but I didn’t hear that many problems apart from getting drivers for her Epson printer to work.
So how has it been for you?
I’ve been trying to convince my wife to dump Windows for years, and her question is always the same, “will I still have MS Outlook? No? Then I don’t want it”. Her Windows 10 computer is 9 years old, has never been re-installed and it’s slower than a freaking tired snail…
