Title: Why would you even use Windows in the first place?
Post by: KT 💣 KλBoƠM on January 15, 2026, 05:51:50 pm
Why the people who don't use Windows don't use Windows, including hackers.

Agreed.  But for the most part, Linux has a very steep learning curve.  Windows is built for dummies.

There is always the tried and true Ubuntu (https://ubuntu.com/desktop).  It has a similar look and feel to windows and comes chock full of useful apps for everyday use.  For gamers like us, there is a lot more configuring to do.  But it should be okay for what your mom needs.

Thanks. That is what I was thinking but have held off because I don't want to hear her complaints about learning something new (heck Windows is still new to her and she has been using it now for years).
