What a fun experiment! I put my wife on Linux and she ran it for a few *years* before we had to move her to something else because of VPN requirements, but it's doable! I agree with most posters that the best recommendations are Ubuntu, Linux Mint, or PopOS. https://cultofshiv.wtf/@SleepyCatten/112689024226073444

  Okay. We're gonna poke the bear. We're currently on Windows 10 on all our machines. All our family members use it too. We're not going to upgrade to Windows 11. We're sure there will be a Windows 12 at some point, with built-in stuff that we don't want and can't easily remove until someone hacks it out. So, if we were to attempt to make a move to a Linux distro where: * we'd get a Windows-like experience (minus the shitty bits) * we didn't have to ever use a command line console except for very advanced tasks * all our PC games would run * we could find Linux compatible versions (or compatibility layers) for decades of WIndows-only software ... where the heck would we even start? #Windows #Windows10 #Windows11 #linux #LinuxDistros **Edit:** Thank you so far for all the helpful suggestions and replies! We seriously do appreciate this, as it gives us somewhere to start gradually researching over time!
