So my story is the exact opposite!
I started using linux from 7th grade and now im in 11th grade…but my father doesn’t seem to be overjoyed cuz I use linux…
Although there is a twist.
My father uses an old MBP 2012. Suddenly one day, it stopped running SSDs so had to switch to HDD only. MacOS was crying while running on it. So I somehow convinced my father to atleast TRY linux on it.
He agreed and I installed Pop OS 22.04 on it cuz of its excellent driver support.
Its been six months now and he is really happy with it! He does all his office work on it…mostly browser and sometimes word,ppt,excel. I also installed MS Office 2013 on it with PlayOnLinux and he uses it too…He likes it because he says that after the long boot time, the os is pretty stable and decently fast…obs apps take time to open but still he is happy with it!
The main thing is that all the webcam, mic, wifi started working out of the box! Thats why I love Pop OS!!
