Switched my Parents to Linux
I'm visiting my parents for the holidays and convinced them to let me switch them to Linux.
They use their computer for the typical basic stuff; email, YouTube, Word, Facebook, and occasionally printing/scanning.
I promised my mom that everything would look the same and work the same. I used Linux Mint and customized the theme to look like Windows 10. I even replaced the Mint "Start" button with the Windows logo.
So far they like it and everything runs great. Plus it's snappier now that Windows isn't hogging all the system resources.

set up some remote desktop in case you need to support them when your vacation ends
Rustdesk! Its a GUI copy of Teamviewer but it works.
It has all the DynDNS stuff that miss in all the other options so they are unusable in countries where IP addresses change.
But no wayland, yet.
Waypipe could probably be used as a reference or incorporated as a library to make it work
Rustdesk supports Wayland but only "experimental"
It doesnt work. Just static viewing.
Worked for me...?
Cool! On wayland? What compositor, flatpak or native?
Not sure
Yes Wayland, but experimentally.
Already threw RustDesk on there and tested it.
