I've been saying for years I was going to move back over to Linux. This will be the push I need. Sadly my Dad is bad at computers and will need Windows 11 when using 10 becomes a problem. I'm throwing this at my brother since I was the one who got our Dad a Windows 10 computer. FU Microsoft, you peaked at XP.

Maybe a ChromeOS machine? It doesn't get more simple to use than that.

unfortunately it can be a minefield with each ChromeOS machine having a set update expiration date from date of first availability.
