Linux and your family
(lemmy.world)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I threw my brother and my dad into EndeavourOS and Garuda respectively. So far, they are swimming. My brother even does almost all his gaming on Linux.
(Well OK, apart from my dad generally yelling at everything tech. I guess that's where I got it from.)
Haha, dunno about Garuda, but EndeavourOS is a tad difficult if you never used any Linux based distro before ! Granted it's easier to setup and maintain than Arch, but still...
This reminds me of how in the past the swimming instructor just throw you in the pool even If you can't swim... Some learned the hard way others were traumatized for life.
Well, I did preconfigure Endeavour a bit, but still, it runs just fine :D Being on KDE is a huge help, Windows users feel pretty much right at home.
