Torturing My Father & Mother In Law

ZorinOS would have been a good choice too, but Fedora is cool too

@DownPW Yes, ZorinOS is good for those switching away from Windows. There’s also AnduinOS

Yeah I couldn’t resist because it kind of felt like it at times haha

I have an update regarding this. They both said that they are getting used to navigating Fedora and that it is working great for them so far. They said there is still a bit of a learning curve they are going through but overall happy.

@Madchatthew And let this be a testament to anyone else looking to transition out from Windows to Linux. It’s perfectly possible with some minor changes to how you use a computer

[Madchatthew]

@phenomlab and she has never used linux before. I have been able to give her step by step directions on how to do some things and that is over texting. Trust me, if my mom can keep Arch Linux up and running on 5 computers, then anyone can use Linux.

She is doing a great job!

@Madchatthew Those credentials are hard to argue!

@phenomlab thank you! I really appreciate it!

I was reading the last previous post and I have to clarify that I stated my mom, but I was meaning my mother and father-in-law. And I want to also mention that my father-in-law knows nothing about computers and my mother-in-law new more about computers but since then she’s had a couple of small strokes and is still being very successful with linux. So if there’s any doubt that anybody can switch from Windows to Linux they should put that doubt aside now and go ahead and make the switch.

@Madchatthew This is really inspiring! Keep it up! There is life after Windows…
