What is the deal with WINux? information sought!

[Kojack]

Hey people.

I am thinking of moving my son to Linux on his gaming laptop. he has autism and is very very resistant to change. I was looking at WinUX as an option to get around his reluctance.

I searched on YouTube, and there's a bunch of videos stating DO NOT USE. Is this for security reasons are just because it's copying windows?

thanks for the information.

I don't know much about Winux but I too have seen may reviews that say it's not worth it. Perhaps Zorin would be a better choice.

Is he very tech savyy? If not, you may try to convince him that the laptop broke, or Windows broke, or Windows has ended, and you had no other choice but to install Linux. You could sabotage Windows install to make it stop working, at which point reinstall will be required.

Be creative, and extra patient to assist him in the transition to Linux.
