content: So I got my dad a cheap used laptop that came with windows 8. He hated it, the thing was sluggish and yesterday started throwing up the install windows 10 pop up. So I said fuck it and put mint on it. He loves the interface, it's quick, it runs cooler and the install was an absolute snap. With that there isn't a single windows computer left at his or my house. It is now less painful for the average computer user to work Linux than windows, it's a glorious time to be alive.
