Welcome to the club. I have my entire family on linux since at least 2003. It has never been "difficult to use" or anything like that. And support is trivial through ssh sessions.

I didn't give them a choice in the matter, though.
Just like they don't have a choice in browsers. I mean, in theory they can install whatever they want, but in practice they use what I put there.

This made me laugh. Thank you. And thank you for not biting my head off, like everyone else has.

Weird, I don't think I said anything funny.

Good for him. Yay!
