Installed linux for my brother-in-law and for a professor last month. Both liked it and are probably going to use it insted of moving to win11. I'm doing my part.

What distro did you go with?
Linux mint for my brother-in-law, and debian for my professor, because he said he has an aversion to stuff changing in his computer and wanted something that stayed almost the same in 10 or 20 or years from now and didn't fail him. He seemed enthusiastic with the concept of a distro that focuses on stability and wanted it, even if I said that it's a bit harder to use and recommended linux mint.
