I have a gaming pal thats not super techy, and kind of lazy, so they’re still on 10.

I really doubt he will ever change to Linux (he complains if we have to play any game not in the steam library, he is not a tinkerer) but I wonder how much I need to remind him to change to either win 10 iot or maybe try Linux? Is it even a concern?

    I’ve tried to convince people that were both stubborn and lazy. From experience I can say, chances of convincing are slim. At best, poke him a few times and leave it quiet until he has some issue with Windows, and even then, when suggesting Linux again, don’t insist too much or be too forceful.

      if they’re not tied to specific games which are known to be problematic outside of windows, I like to either share my screen or let friends use one of my Linux systems in person to get a feel.

      many are surprised it’s intuitive to them at all. Common HCI principals are neat!
