If you put Linux Mint on the average persons PC and set it up with the same desktop icons as their windows pc they wouldn't know it wasn't windows.

Just show them where the web browser is and done!

No shit I did this for my partners grandparent. All they needed was the browser to do shit like Facebook and paying bills. Slapped Linux Mint on their near dinosaur laptop with a Windows theme and they were none the wiser.

My dad has been running Linux Mint for almost 10 years now and he doesn't know that LibreOffice isn't "Linux."
