    The last time I tried a linux system for a daily driver was over 10 years ago. At the time everything felt rough, unstable, unsupported, and gaming in particular was nonexistent.

    Set up a CachyOS dual boot back in February, think I booted up Windows 3 times at most since then (and have since sorted out the issues that I had to do that for in the first place).

    I still can’t seriously recommend the switch to less tech savvy folks (try putting grandma on Mint and see what happens lmao), but we’re definitely finally getting there after all these years.

      I actually put my grandma on Zorin OS and, well, what happened is that she is using her PC less now lol. But she can get stuff done usually.

      (Get stuff done == read emails, read news, print documents)

      Setup Mint for grandma, and had to do it again recently as she had bought a new computer and found Windows annoying and unintuitive.
