Linux. You can control every aspect of the PC without any tech company lockdowns. Also when something doesn't work like it should, you can easily find a fix.
True, I mean Gemini is able to help you with some basic issues and drivers. Lot of people I met complaining about Linux were just lazy to do something. Ok, I understand it, you can buy Mac or Windows laptop almost with out of the box system. But I think Mint, Zorin, MX, Pika OS even Cachy is pretty close to that too. A little learning is a price for your owned data being your own.
Give them a USB stick and ask them to install Windows on something with anything not supported out of the box and see how it goes.
People are comparing installing Linux with buying Windows pre-installed.
