My 92 year old aunt: You do the Leenux thing, right? You need to come over sometime and install it for me, because f#ck all I ain't gonna update to Windows 11.
Me: .... ?!#!?
I explain what the change-over entails and that I generally don't recommend it just because...
Aunt: No, f#ck that, f#ck capitalism, my laptop is still fine, so come over and set me up with that Leenux thing.
@ludoloon She says moving to Linux is quite a topic among the retired people she knows, including informal mutual support groups, organized, amongst others, by the local public library. Who knew!
unsolicted distro recomendation (the worst kind of post)@fschaap@ludoloon Elementary OS looks pretty decent. I used to install fedora for people to help set them up, but elementry's Pantheon desktop, app center, and values seem solid and is what I've got on a usb drive for next time.
Also, whatever distro or browser you help set up do her a favor and install adblock for her.
