I can only save myself.

I have successfully converted a friend to Linux though. I walked him through an Arch install becacause it's easier to teach about the boot process when you're required to manually install everything.

He quickly discovered EndeavourOS, apparently manual Arch installs are not to his taste...

I have a couple friends i want to convert but theyre so impatient and expect everything instant without learning so yeah, not good for linux. I'd guess this describes most humans.
