  • I recently swapped my Dad’s Windows computer with my old machine, which I installed Linux on ahead of time.

    I told him it was a faster machine - which it was just slightly in the hardware sense, a very minor upgrade. A half-truth to encourage the transition.

    But of course, it’s running Linux, not Windows.

    Next day he phones me up really happy that it’s “so much faster than the old machine!”

    And it really is a lot faster, but it’s not the hardware. It’s just not getting bogged down with all the crap Windows constantly does in the background.

    Either way, mission accomplished.
