After a win11 forced updated made my nontech 75 years old father laptop nearly useless he ask me if linux could give it a second life i’ve been a user for at least 15 years so i was more than happy to install it

His laptop is like a new one sure he had to learn a little after so long on windows but it’s mostly really user friendly now except for some minor problem everything work out of the box (wifi,bluetooth,printer etc)

I doubt microslop could ever get most new linux user back once they get the hang of it
