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.

Oh that's definitely true - if their existing machine works and they only want to get away from Windows then it's not even a question (putting Mac OSX onto a not-Mac hardware just isn't quite the same experience...:-P), definitely go with Linux then.

Yeah there is no OS in existence and never will be one that has zero issues, true dat. Windows included.
