    My folks just give up the moment they suspect they have use anything that isn’t windows. I’m amazed I was even able to get them to trade word for google docs.

      My mom doesn’t seem to know.

      She knows where the browser is and how to adjust the volume and is having a great time.

      My folks are in their 70s and not much different.

      But once I realized my dad thought that Google Chrome was his operating system I realized that this would be easy.

      Interestingly this is my path to linux, and Ive seen it recommended elsewhere.

      Move all your services to the cloud, or foss software (as most is available on linux). Then get off windows.

      Libreoffice Inkscape / gimp Firefox/Chromium Thunderbird Obsidian (for notes) Bitwarden Signal Syncthing

      And most of these have phone apps too!
