What I learned from 3 years of running Windows 11 on “unsupported” PCs (arstechnica.com)

Tell him you'll have to do it for him and install Linux mint

I made that comment to my mom this morning. Also I have tried Linux on that machine and its weird. It has a very old digitizer that sort of works. (Sony Vaio AIO). Disabling it is a #1 priority.

He's technically inclined enough to install it himself entirely.

Other issue is the wireless card. It's an old Qualcomm card (not ath9k).

We'll figure it out once windows 11 stops working. Or if the drive dies.
