There is a learning curve for old people. It takes time. So dual boot is a must until then.
This. It feels to me like driving a stick shift when youâve been using an automatic transmission for years. You have to do a little more fiddling but I honestly donât mind learning a new OS that isnât actively working against me.
With Windows . . . on the other hand . . . every time Iâve had to go âunder the hoodâ (tweak Registry settings, Config files, etc) itâs been to prevent Microsoft from doing something crappy to me.
Yes, with Windows it is a fight about disabling all the new stuff they come up with. Here, you must use OneDrive if you save a file. Here, lots of ads in the start menu, nothing is installed. Or here, please try copilot+ or bing. Do you want to set bing as your startup page? If you say no, we will ask you again⊠A new windows update? Lets ask everything again.
It also doesnât help that my dad still isnât filly convinced Linux isnât a virus/dangerous to my PC.
He is just afraid of learning new things. Best way here is to show him how it works. Learning.
