I gave them Lubuntu and their scanner app running in WINE. It worked fine but they refused to switch because "it's not muh windows". This is how Microsoft corrupts people for life...

The sad irony being that the Windows UI, starting from Win8, became a complete mess, far more different from say Win7 or even XP than any recent Linux desktop manager. Most of my users, some even over 70 with little computer experience, are doing fine on Linux, but I "converted" them before they had to experience that awful mess, so it has been relatively easy: from XP or Win7 to a customized XFCE (its defaults are ugly and unpractical) has been a breeze.

  > customized XFCE (its defaults are ugly and unpractical) Correction: Its defaults are ugly and unpractical on Debian. It looks a lot nicer on Manjaro for example.
