    I am supportive when someone tries, but most people don’t want to switch, yet expect “the tech person” in their family to fix their computer when they break it yet again. After fixing my parents’ computer a couple of times and offering to show them how easy it is to use a Linux, which I could support them with, and hearing “nah, we’re too old for [ something new ]” - 15 years(!) ago, I told them to not bother me again with their Windows problems, so they have to pay someone doing tech support for their home computers.

    If everyone did that - leave windows users dead in the water with the excellent /s Microsoft support, the number of windows users would quickly dwindle.
