Though I love Linux with all my heart, i don't even recommend it to family. Mostly out of fear of having to provide tech support .
Are you not already tech support for your family?
No. I only know Linux. At least that's what I tell them.
Gotta do that from now. Thanks for the advice.
This fr ^
I do because I already am tech support and Linux is easier than windows. Now my close family uses Linux and very rarely needs any help
Same here. I’m going to be tech support anyway, so they might as well be using an operating system that doesn’t break every 5 minutes like Windows. Aside from the occasional printer weirdness, I really haven’t had to do much. Linux just works.
