PC Gaming

I love the idea but not the messaging. Older folks & non-nerd people - a vast majority of the demographic of people who would benefit from this campaign, if I had to guess - aren't going to want Linux or "fresh new software". They want a computer with a web browser, an Office suite, and an OS/layout that functions exactly the way they expect it to.

If you tout so much change, they're going to lose interest. I'd argue they'd lose interest seeing technical words like "software", since all they know on phones and computers are "apps".

However, If you instead show them side-by-side how they can do the exact same tasks with nearly identical steps and also emphasize the benefits like cost effectiveness and speed... they'll just say "okay great, can you do it for me?"

If it helps you could probably update your title to End of 10 - Campaign to upgrade Windows 10 PCs to Linux. At the moment it's a bit tricky to understand.

My grandma once complained about something wrong with her web browser. She had a generic install of Windows, so was using Internet explorer. I told her she should use Firefox (my cousin was there, and agreed) so she told us to change it.

Installed Firefox, deleted desktop icon of Internet explorer, added desktop icon for Firefox. My grandma couldn't understand why the little picture was different, didn't know what to do to get to Facebook, and told us to fix it so it worked again.

So my cousin changed the icon from Firefox to internet explorer. Problem solved.

Linux is a good idea in theory, but someone really needs to put the work in to make it look and work as close as humanly possible to Windows. I don't have time or patience to be 24-7 tech support for everyone in my family over 60.
