My sister had a weird problem with Win 10 and needed me to format her notebook, a perfect opportunity to convert another soul. So I suggested installing Linux so she could try it out, she was hesitant but when I showed her some prints of Zorin OS and told her about KDE Connect she was much more inclined.
After the installation I showed her the Gnome tour so she could learn the basics, connected her things, taught her how to install what she needed and let her do her own thing. One thing that is quite not normal for the average Windows user is that she learned to use the LibreOffice suite and other open source programs at school (cool as fuck), so she was quite comfortable with the new environment.
She’s quite pleased and I don’t think she’ll miss Windows, but that only time will tell.
Yes, it would be unfortunate for a new user to experience all the horror our distinguished friend EvilSocket is telling everyone today…
Keep up the good work!
Mine distro had an update for cups, so I am guessing people are already on this. Pop Os is what I just loaded on this machine.
