> good luck getting ol' grandma to flash her desktop with Fedora/equivalent

My kid's grandma (my wife's mom) brought me one Windows laptop too-many to fix "because there were ads everywhere".

I confiscated her laptop (I'm now using Linux on it) and had her buy a Chromebook.

People aren't using Windows under my watch / friends don't let friends/family use that mediocre piece of turd that Windows is / etc.
