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.

I would have agreed a long time ago, but I wouldn’t force anyone to switch to an OS filled with ads, telemetry, or mandatory hacks and registry keys modifications to be usable (Windows 10 and 11).

Edit: I forgot the requirement to have a Microsoft account which is the cherry on top.
