     @greentext this is actually VERY simple.

     Realize that the "bloat" come from all the windows updates. When windows was "new" it ran fine on these older machines.

     So you just refresh windows with factory settings, and turn off windows updates, and tell the Karen to NEVER update windows because the updates are what's slowing her computer down.

     If she's worried about viruses, there are anti-virus programs that will cause less issues that the fucking windows updates.

     @Tfmonkey @greentext Bugs me when guys are like this, all you have to do is normify it to explain:

     “Yeah grandma, just imagine that every year your computer ages, it has to carry 500 lbs of gravel anywhere it goes. Your camry wouldn’t be able to drive very well with 3,000 lbs of gravel, would it?”

     Then you have the choice: Install something light weight and condemn yourself to being tech support (recommended in many cases, because you’ll feel less guilty when you get that unforeseen inheritance check) or just tell them to buy something newer and better

     @Humpleupagus @greentext @Tfmonkey @WashedOutGundamPilot I did that in a Old AiO Dell Inspiron using Linux mint. My father didn't notice the difference.

     Just install KDE Plasma with libreoffice and a browser. Tell her it's windows. She won't know the difference.
