    God damn it, my dads computer is very old actually and he is running windows 10. There is one program which is not available for Linux which he uses to access his CCTV cameras so moving him to Linux might be difficult because of that.

      Have you tried running the CCTV software in Wine? It doesn’t sound like it’s likely to be a particularly complicated bit of software, so hopefully Wine will have it running with a couple of clicks.

        My dad lives in Germany and I do in Korea. The really good thing about Linux is that it’s easy to remotely administrate it. The bad part is that we live in very different time zones so if something doesn’t work it would take a lot of time before we both have time at the same time so I can show him how to do things.
