Have you or someone close to you converted to Linux recently (with Windows 10's end of support)?

I’d like to hear people’s journeys and motivations from people who switched over the last few months, and if there were particular challenges that were faced.

I helped switch my 88 years old grandma to Mint a few months back. I don’t think she understands that I changed her OS but she is happy with it so far, her laptop goes much faster and 0 problems so far for her needs, very simple needs but she actually uses it a lot!

For like a good chunk of people, all you need from a computer the news, online videos, one social media, email, banking, simple writing and printing. Linux does fine and some distros actually do better than Windows at the basics.
