  • In an effort to relieve her PC of constantly deluge of virus and malware, I switched my Mom over to Ubuntu in the 2000’s. She lasted a month.

    The experiment ended when she called me in tears because of her silent 4 week struggle with the OS.

    She couldn’t get her scanner to work reliably, and none of her “print shop” software was compatible.

    I know more now than I did then, and the distros have come a long way since, but I don’t have the time to retrain her and at 70 years old, I just want her to use what she’s comfortable with, even if that means I have to occasionally scrub her PC.
