Convinced my boomer dad to switch to Linux Mint and, much to my shock, he was tech literate enough to figure everything out on his own.
I then realized the idiot was ME here. When I was a kid, my dad got into piracy because of those “YOU WOULDN’T STEAL A CAR” things as they made him realize you can get shit for free on the internet.
My boomer dad was the one who taught me about torrenting, proxies, VPNs, burning CDs, and private trackers when I was a kid because he just loved stealing so much.
Yeah really, getting free movies is what got my dad into being more techy than the average American. He just never used Linux till like 2025.
