God I love people that pretend switching to Linux is for everyone. They’re the same dipshits that install Mint on their grandmothers machine without asking, then get defensive when she takes issue with it.

I installed Linux Mint and I encrypted the drive for my sister ( a 20 yo old laptop ), her kids use it to play games now and they absolutely love it

her husband uses it for word docs, and browsing the web and his happy with it, he wanted to pay me for my effort

There is a catch .... They think it's macOS 😂😭

I want to say that there’s no way people would install Linux without consent on someone else’s machine, but people have done crazier things.
