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.

    I’m using Linux ten years now and I never learned shell scripting. Or do you mean running commands in the shell?

      Running commands in a shell is the interactive way to interact with a shell, those .sh scrips are the non interactive way. Same language, different ways to input it. :)
