Wife was the last household user of a PC where I debated leaving windows, because she "hates any changes" in her words, and she wanted her PC upgrade to be identical to her old PC.
unfortunately, her old PC is 10 years old (appx) and the new one came with a new install of win 11 pro. She just needs a plain desktop and already did nothing more than libre office stuff in a win environment, browsing, photos, and netflix watching.
She assumed windows would be more like her old PC and requested it, but I put ubuntu studio on instead, copied all of her files to the new SSD, pulled her password file into firefox and put the shortcuts she used on her old PC on her desktop.
It would've taken far more effort to try to get windows 11 to seem like her old PC to her, and she knows I didn't actually put windows on her new PC, but she hasn't said anything about it. And she would.
(the only windows PC I have now is my managed desktop, and a now out of commission other late model HP PC that I'm going to either dump or cannibalize ram and SSD from and then sell on ebay.
There seems to be a weird preference for stripped PCs that have a touch screen vs. stripped PCs that don't. What is driving that?)
