Windows has gotten so bad that my family, who has been reticent about the switch since 2004, has finally given in and is swapping! So far I got them to agree with ChromeOS Flex (booo, but still better than windows) and Bazzite!

    If you already are their tech support, you probably could’ve forcibly switched then a long time ago.

    At least, that’s how I treat my computer-illiterate boomer parents. For them, it’s “use what I tell you to use or you’re on your own.” To be fair, on their last few computers that was MacOS, but their iMac from 2013(?) got so obsolete it wasn’t good enough anymore, so as of a few months ago they’re on a mini PC running Linux whether they like it or not.

      My family is famously stubborn and unreasonable to our own detriment. And by famous I mean famous there’s a little blurb about my asshole relatives being stubborn in a local history book and we took this fact as a good thing

      I kinda love some of them though so I guess I’m fine with it
