Linux is for you, Linux is for me, Linux is for everybody.

    Linux used to be for nerds, programmers and tech people.

    Now, it’s probably easier to use Linux than Windows.

      Defintiely! I recently bought a used Thinkpad and slapped Pop!_OS on it for my father-in-law. He’s 73 and he’s loving it! He proudly tells his friends that he is now “a part of a computer revolution”.

        lmao, I wouldn’t call it a revolution. Simply different options, alternatives and/or values.

      I have my Boomer dad using Linux Mint on his laptop, but he was still using Windows on his desktop PC.

      Then it updated to Windows 11 and he HATES it and asked me for help to put Linux Mint on his desktop as well.
