once you know how to use linux, you can stop fixing everyone elses problems for them.

I know you meant being able to claim "I don't use Windows" but just installing Linux has massively lowered the tech support requests I get from my parents.

yeah, installing and configuring linux for other people seems to be getting more and more popular these days. My dad now runs linux on an older thinkpad, he likes it, doesn't ask for login or any weird shenanigans, just does spreadsheets pretty much exclusively. Works great.

It's a shame how annoying most modern operating systems are these days.
