I’m visiting my parents for the holidays and convinced them to let me switch them to Linux.
They use their computer for the typical basic stuff; email, YouTube, Word, Facebook, and occasionally printing/scanning.
I promised my mom that everything would look the same and work the same. I used Linux Mint and customized the theme to look like Windows 10. I even replaced the Mint “Start” button with the Windows logo.
So far they like it and everything runs great. Plus it’s snappier now that Windows isn’t hogging all the system resources.
Master…please teach me your ways.
Just uninstall your proprietary parent and install Linux.
How do I uninstall my mom??
Open your terminal and run sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root. Trust me bro, it works!
Mom?
…
MOOOOM?!
Hello son, I am your mother. However, I’d just like to interject for moment. What you’re referring to as Mom, is in fact, GNU/Mom, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Mom.
