How can I convince the GF to switch? She only plays The Sims and the occasional hentai game; her Skylake i5 and 1050ti are more than adequate for those tasks. Yet she refuses to try Linux; won't even let me install LTSC to buy some time.

I think she just wants an excuse to buy a new laptop. She's the kind of person who replaces her shower curtain every six months, rather than do the sane thing and simply wash it. I'll never understand such a wasteful mentality.

There is nothing wrong if someone doesn't want to switch to a new OS. That being said, isn't her buying a new computer better? Old one becomes unused then.

Putting lightweight linux on an unused old computer and seeing it become better is like the standard procedure. You could even make a custom rice for her.

Bazzite and don’t tell her it’s Linux?

She's not stupid

Then she can run Linux.
