From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Are you saying to try Opensuse Tumbleweed in a VM on his Win11 machine? Then if they like it, to pivot to opensuse full time?
Indeed I'm, try it in a VM in whatever system he wants.
openSUSE tumbleweed normal installation image doesn't have a live system to try. Although there is a live image to try it in a VM, but you can't use it to install. 🤷🏻♂️
Better to try it in a VM before having the work to install it on bare metal.
I thought they had the net installer but I've never tried the live isos so I could be wrong.
