Microsoft tries to convince Windows 10 users to buy a new PC with full-screen prompts

I have started switching my parents. Last year before all this really started getting crazy and I bought my mother a used HP elitebook laptop and set her up with Linux on it. Just to get her to test it out and use it. And replace her older laptops. There's very little she does that actually depends on windows. Everything tends to be in the browser. There was only one odd application that's odd even under windows. But it has an Android version that I got running with waydroid.

In the last month and I got my father a new used office PC that was about 10 Generations newer than what he had processor-wise. And set it up with Linux out of the box. He's been enjoying using it it's so much faster snappier and less spammy. And here this month when I have time. Getting my mother's desktop PC converted over to dual boot at least with Linux as primary. I've had far fewer tech support issues since I've done it too.

Between system 76, framework, tuxedo, and a few other sellers. There are actually a few options now offering Linux out of the box. Next time I buy a PC it will likely be from one of them depending upon what I'm looking for. And if anyone asked me for recommendations they will be the only ones I will recommend. Apart from ordering used office machines and repurposing them LOL. Unless you want to do current gym Triple A games at 4K etc. You can get six generation i7 systems for around $100 and use graphic cards for 50 to 100. And play most games and have a great time. It's actually kind of hilarious I have a couple of Verizon systems from the last 4 to 5 years. The system I spend more time on is a 6th generation i7 Lenovo business Tower. Largely because it's running Linux and the others are running Windows.
