Just installed Tails in parents' desktop. Looks exactly like XP and they didn't feel a thing

My parents are divorced but they each call me all the time about malware, adware, and all sorts of stuff they shit up Wangblows with. A few months ago I talked to my dad about using GNU/Linux. He's a libertarian so I explained the concept of free as in freedom, the basics of the GPL, access to source code, and he loves the idea. He's fairly tech savvy when it comes to Windows, and he's loving Ubuntu MATE. Only call I got was him asking how to install work related software from a tarball. Last weekend I installed Ubuntu Budgie on my mom's 2009 laptop. I installed another 2GB of RAM (has 4GB now) and an SSD (500GB Samsung) because her hardware is pretty old. She loves the new interface. I also installed Ublock Origin and HTTPS Everywhere in Firefox on both of my Parent's machines to keep them safe.

GNU/Linux is so advanced now that it's perfect for everyday normie computing needs.

I live on my own and all of my machines are running some version of Debian or Fedora, with the exception of a PS4, a router with OpenWrt, and a couple Android (Lineage OS) devices.

Nobody was a holdout. Once they upgraded to Windows 10, I said that I had no idea how to fix their fuck ups (it was a lie, but I'm tired of fixing Windows shit). Both parents have Mint on their laptops. I left XP on their old PC tower from over a decade ago, so that they could sync their iPhones to it if they wanted to.

PS4 runs on FreeBSD, if memory serves.
