I had a false start getting my mom to switch from OSX to Linux. She is tech savvy, and because of that she was doing more advanced things like mail merges for nonprofits, developing websites, etc. That was in the 2000s. I expect moving from Windows to Linux is much easier than moving from the Apple ecosystem. I still provide tech support to both parents, but since tailscale and quickassist it hasn't been too bad.
