Not parent, but I would have done the same. I transitioned to MacOS from Windows 7 in 2011. When I opened my 2019 XPS with Windows, I got immediate anxiety due to how much Windows has devolved in the last 8 years.

On a brand new system, opening new windows lagged. Multiple popups constantly required my attention and kept getting in my way. I couldn't imagine using the Home version, where you have to deal with Ads on the Start menu on top of all that.

Today I live happily with Kubuntu.
