Had a relative switch to Linux recently. Lenovo IdeaPad computer running windows 10.
The stuff was getting insanely slow and battery life was reduced ton the point that it was being a pain to use.
Backed all the documents and data on a local instance of dufs running on home server and installed Linux Mint on it.
Had minor issues regarding WiFi and Bluetooth. Solved the wifi one but bluetooth is still a bit unstable sometimes.
Came back 1 week later and the user is delighted. Says that everything works 3 times faster than on windows and that battery lasts 3 times longer.
They also went on themselves to look for open source alternatives to windows apps they were using and installed them. That’s a win !
