@itsfoss for a couple of years. As my primary OS I must have started maybe late 2019 or sometime in 2020.
But I had Linux as a secondary OS installed all the back to I guess 2014.
I switched because of gaming (mod in a game caused GPU memory leaking on Win). But I stayed because of the ease of use, it just works. Installing software is a breeze compared to windows. The package manager just does everything for you.

But for a novice it's kinda perfect.
Also fixing his system would entail a two hour ride by train or car.
I considered NixOS for him too, but I figured it's probably less for beginners.

The primary reason I selected VanillaOS for him is the immutability. It means less work for me, as he can't break the system.
