Grandma doesn’t need to “learn” Linux

Most of the older generation compute almost entirely through a web browser. They often struggle with the amount of notifications / solicitations that come up in a a Windows OS, as they can have trouble discerning between what is real and what is a scam - becoming fundamentally distrustful of everything as a result.

Through my repair shop, I’ve transitioned plenty of older generation folks to Linux Mint with minimal friction.

Main area where that can get a bit more complicated is for those who are clinging to an older piece of software they’re unwilling to let go of.

Due to how they are affected by Bit Rot, I would bot use any kind of flash based media (USB Flash Drive, SSD, MicroSD, etc) for any kind of long-term backup.
