People who have installed Linux on their parents computer, how did it go? Which distro do you recommend? Any tips? (lemmy.zip)

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.

My parents (71f, 77m) run Linux Mint on their PCs and Laptops and a 22Tb Storage Server with Gentoo and an UPS... They update their machines themselves, but the Server hast one Patch day a month where i Run the Updates.

But i'm a senior software architect, fwiw.
