How to convince my Mother to switch to Linux? And what's the best distro to use?
Hello. So, this whole thing started when Microsoft somehow """ACCIDENTALLY""" put AI into Windows 11... and it's source code. And now, Web View is screwed... and as someone with 8GB ram... THIS IS NIGHTMARE. Discord uses 1GB AVERAGE. WhatsApp? No, it crashes due to RAM outage. And copilot starts on startup, and consumes half of the ram. So I considered switching to Fedora, so I made a 60GB partition on my external 500GB HDD, but Fedora screamed at me! "EFI CAN'T BE NFTS" "EFI CAN'T BE FAT32" "BTFRN-XXXXXX-XXXX ERROR" And I guess if I couldn't set a partition, the only way would to erase the entire drive or deal with Windows. Until... I realized. I could do it tomorrow the PC! But my mother HATES changes. I guess she'd adapt well if I've made a tutorial for her, I've done one when I Hackintoshed the PC but she gave up when she knew Audio wouldn't work without a BT headphone... I'll stop yapping, so just. Mother hates changes.
