I exclusively use Linux and have several family members who have Linux laptops.

I don't think it is impossible, but they require someone in their life that can handle the issues.

They're going to have a much harder time finding support for a Linux machine than a Windows machine.

Some enterprising teenager should offer to upgrade peoples PCs to Linux, especially as Windows 11 is pushed harder. They could even offer a tech support option for a yearly fee.
