Actually, one more use case is my SO. Can't/won't use Linux, and I'm not fighting. But needs an up to date OS on the ancient lappet laptop, so 10 IOT it is.

Unless she's a pro, why does she even care? My wifey would just want her browser, mails and is already using libreoffice. Browser looks the same as win, so could the whole OS if one prefers.

But yeah sure, wouldn't force her to any OS either,I'm not suicidal 😁
