All my extended family has been converted to linux because all they need is a browser, libre office and rustdesk for me to tech support them. The only issue is still printers but tbh they are equally awful on all platforms these days.

I thought Linux had decent printer support compared to windows.

Decent printers yes, some demons from ninth circle of hell somehow are more problematic on anything non-windows.
