People who have installed Linux on their parents computer, how did it go? Which distro do you recommend? Any tips? (lemmy.zip)

There are always stories of people installing Linux on their parents computer to provide them a more secure and stable operating system, seems interesting to share experiences.

Edit: I'm assuming that parents are okay with the changes, or do not care. Obviously do not force anyone to switch OS if they don't want to.

For simple use cases… Linux can actually be a lot more hands off and just works.

It’s actually pretty great for the grandparent use case.
