There are always stories of people installing Linux on their parents computer to provide them a more secure and stable operating system, seems interesting to share experiences.

Edit: I'm assuming that parents are okay with the changes, or do not care. Obviously do not force anyone to switch OS if they don't want to.

When my mom used her laptop, she was using arch btw! It was only for browsing though. Firefox was auto launched and she didn't have to learn anything. It obviously wouldn't have been a good choice, if I wasn't able to do the updates.
