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.

Yep. Me and my parents. I'd tried a few distros in the last but always by as issues. Tried arch BTW but I didnt knlw what I was doing.

Thoght about fedora but I'd have to support family so shared to be on the same distro and its not very windows like.

Moved to mibt and bingo. Very much like windows, hardly need to use the termianl, everything just works.

I want to use a PC not sit in the terminal foxing things. That said, I'm slowly getting into the deeper side of linux.

Parents have 0 issues with mint. Even printers just plug and play.
