Have you or someone close to you converted to Linux recently (with Windows 10's end of support)? (lemmy.ca)

I'd like to hear people's journeys and motivations from people who switched over the last few months, and if there were particular challenges that were faced.

Go with Bazzite. It just works, she can't break it, and as long as she reboots from time to time, it'll always be up to date. And she won't have to learn anything to use it.

This is a great suggestion. Especially the not breaking it part.

The only other suggestion is to figure out whether KDE or Gnome desktop environment is right for her. Former more Windows-like, latter more Mac-like. And then just make sure to grab that version of Bazzite.
