There's some benefit... my daughter was assigned a Window 11 Lenovo the last two tears and now hates Microsoft AND Windows.

Her personal laptop runs linux.

You could have created a temporary dual boot to teach her that in a weekend. Parents are so lazy these days.

Nah, her kind of deep seated hatred comes from required usage over time, not from a weekend. Short term exposure just doesn't do it.
