Personally I've stopped trying to get people to use open source software or Linux if they don't seem really interested. That saves me time, and that saves them time as well. I've seen several people being somewhat interested but going back to Microsoft or Google products after some time. Regardless of that, if they are open to testing Linux on an old laptop, why not show them a few Linux distribution by means of Ventoy ?
Thanks, I’ve not seen that. I’ll see about sharing it. And yeah I’m not trying to hard, just a nudge and a point in a direction.
