Re: Windows isn’t needed for all home use any more
I haven't used Windows for years, but having tried most other distros before they were truly ready for the desktop, and built some LFS systems, I finally went for various flavours of Ubuntu. I have a grandson that went for linux when he was about 12, with not much prior exposure to computers, so he had no bad habits, and also a close friend in France who gave up on Windows and disliked Apple's offerings, so happily runs various flavour of Ubuntu. I support her from my chair at home in Birmingham, although its hardly ever been necessary, as she has local people to help on the very rare occasions when it need something done that is not possible remotely. In summary, I doubt that you need to worry too much about technical ability, as long as you create a separate home partition so they don't lose everything when something fails and that they give you remote access to the system.
