They were on mint lol. They just wanted to do a bunch of random specific stuff like transferring their entire setup from one drive to another, and then transfer the windows to a drive their linux was on, or installing windows apps that require pretty specific setups (which usually had install scripts made for them, but even reading the guide to how to run those was something they were struggling to do) etc.
I mean, I did mention a lot of alternative solutions and all that, but they weren’t always accepted
What source do/should you ever have to read though?
There’s probably an easier distro and solution for them

Sounds like they should migrate to NixOS, they’ll get exactly that, but then they’ll message you every time they want to change anything.
If I ever meet them in the wild I’ll suggest they try nixOS x3
