It's been a full two years since I wrote about how Linux is now a viable OS for PC gaming and in that time a lot has changed. The open-source desktop OS isn't just for gaming. It's also great for a bunch of other computing tasks one usually does on Windows or even macOS. After using Windows for more than two decades, I find myself no longer able to put up with it.

I doubt Grandma could would do it even when Grandma used to run the IT department back in her day.

I know a freshly-retired Grandma who used to know tech, then she lost interest in it at some point in the late 90's/2000's, and then just moved on up into bossing IT people around for her remaining 20 years. Everyone thinks she's some technical genius still, but the woman just isn't interested in it anymore, and hasn't been for quite some time. Her friends/family still give her computers to fix from time to time, she hasn't told them that she's been giving them to me to fix them for a LONG LONG ASS time now. Because I'm related to this woman...

Over the years, I've tried to get her to install Linux, she admits she don't know the first thing about it. I fully believe she could sit there and figure it out (hours or days later), she just won't do it. I doubt you could force her to do it, given the attitude she has about Linux.
