From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Rather than doing what you are asking about, why not swap them over to the 21h2 ltsc iot version of windows 10 that will receive updates till 2032?
Doing that will improve their lives by rolling the computer back to what they expect and are familiar with, avoid the problems 11 is having and still keep them up to date.
It’s probably best to do something like that instead of evangelizing linux to people who only want the computer to function in expected ways as opposed to learning a bunch of new stuff.
Honestly another great idea! I did this with my Steam Deck :)
