There are always stories of people installing Linux on their parents computer to provide them a more secure and stable operating system, seems interesting to share experiences.

Edit: I'm assuming that parents are okay with the changes, or do not care. Obviously do not force anyone to switch OS if they don't want to.

Nope, MacOS would be too different for them to handle. Linux Mint, or something with KDE Plasma would be way better IMO.
