I got my not-quite-as-techy friend to switch, and they're like a week in and already so pissed off about how bad windows was.
I have the opposite experience. They want to hate linux so much that they complain about everything they have to do differently. I told them to just use windows please
i gave all my friends pcs , perk of the job they all run mint . my friends parents pc was win10 and borked , asked them what they need pc for , web browser . mint . i dont even ask hahha . no complaints , my one friend thought it was windows.
