    To install the current version of Windows on my PC, I need to enter command prompt from within the installer and type 2 commands to disable ethernet and the online install requirement.
    Otherwise it won’t let me install it without a Microsoft account.

    Almost all major desktop Linux distros let you install them with “Click Next until Done” now.

      Windows comes already I stalled on the HP laptop your mom bought. A lot of people have straight up never installed an operating system.

        When my mom needed a new PC, she asked me, the family’s computer guy. I asked her what she does on her PC, bought one, installed Debian with Cinnamon, activated automatic security updates without notifications, set up her printer and an ssh/vnc server for remote assistance. I haven’t heard of any issues in 2 years.
