   kudos!
   
   please tell him about #GNU as well, so that he has a chance of learning where his freedom and software came from, and to value the freedom he's just conquered, instead of allowing it to be eroded over time

     Well this week has bee a fantastic week for my son and his journey through #endof10

     He decided he wanted to move to Linux as he didn't want Windows 11 and his Windows 10 was going EOL on Oct 14th.

     He took his time choosing the right distro but ended up on #CachyOS for his computer, and so I helped him set it up and show him how to do some basic things like installing/uninstalling programs, I installed some programs he uses like Discord, Steam, Brave Browser, showed him how to import all of his bookmarks and saved passwords etc, and then set up Bitwarden for him to keep his saved passwords secure in my self hosted Bitwarden vault.

     He's been using it for a couple of days now and so far I have had no complaints from him, I don't think I would anyway, he's eager to be fully transitioned over to #Linux and with the #KDEPlasma desktop environment we chose to use, I think he will be absolutely fine.

     It feels like a great win for us, he was always solid into the Windows corner due to gaming, but when I showed him that gaming works flawlessly on Linux now we have all the goodies of vulkan and proton, that seemed to open his eyes into the possibilities, and now he's made the switch and all his games seem to "just work", he's one happy chappy.

     Not to mention no longer beholden unto the Microsoft machine!
