caveman here: what do you mean, 'invigoration'...?
Sorry,clicked autocorrecting too fast and fucked text. Invigilation. INVIGILATION. Being spied. Corrected.Sorry.
If I'm wanting them to switch, what version would be best for them? Are they going to find they can't do certain things on a Linux OS?
In such case good option would be leave windows for them,and install linux too, but it is much more complicated. Installing system isn't easy for "caveman",even despite there are instructions in net how to do it. Older people might have problem (I am not kid,being over 30,but people over 40 or 50 could have problems and it is perfectly natural). My dad is over 65's and use old Windows 7 on some old junk because it was too hard for him and is too hard for him to learn more (ok,he has even problems with closing the windows ;) ),so I perfectly understand some people can have problems even with installing.
Easiest thing would be liveDVD with linux mint I mentioned...
There is of course possibility to do such thing like having 2 systems too. But you first shall know what you are doing / have second computer to browse in net what you did wrong (hard way and annoying) / or ask member of your family being most competent about computers to do such a thing. Reinstalling/installing operating system isn't too hard,but as you claim "caveman" - isn't too easy for all too. And making 2 systems... Ooouch bit harder.Possible,but bit harder, because you must do partitioning, order with installing (linux last) and so. As partitioning means usually erasing all the data on the disk I wouldn't advise it person who was not earlier installing operating system many times.
Unfortunately most newest games are for Windows. Of course you could use Steam on Linux, it is probable that your kids use Steam already - but using Steam is even worse cancer because using Steam you/your kids no have game on hard drive of the computer. Steam is "Software as the service" meaning you lease it - not only because of license,but also because you don't have access to it without internet or you/your kids would lose it if Steam would some day bankrupt,if internet would fail, or if their account would be hacked

Wouldn't be happy if Microsoft would turn on some mic or so,but in most cases newest games still are the problem too hard to bother about it.
