They keep saying "the year of the Linux desktop" is still in the future, but don't tell that to my family. Everyone has been on Fedora (with MATE desktop) for years. All the important stuff works (multipmedia, printing, etc). There's also a Windows setup or two for "just in case" purposes but there are exactly three uses for it: An old Win7 laptop to use a convenient (fast, double sided, feedthrough) scanner, and once a year Win10 (in a VM) to run tax preparation software. Third one is the same VM to do firmware/map updates on older Garmin GPS devices. That's it.
