  • If it was me I’d pick the Linux route after confirming i can run all the applications they need its then just a matter of setting it up for them and putting the icons on the desktop. However if they want to be able to install new windows applications themselves linux is probably a really bad option cos wine is just not click and go and probably never will be. In that case I’d just try and locate a cheap PC that can run win 11 or repurpose whatever unused machine parts i have lying around.

    Windows 11 is so fucking annoying cos if it wasn’t for the stupid tpm requirement locating a second hand PC for next to no cost that can run win 10/11 is actually quite easy. Gorillions of ewaste office PCs all over the place for the taking. Technically you can install win 11 and circumvent the requirement but I wouldn’t trust Microsoft to not brick PCs later down the line.
