Honestly that sounds like a jerk move. Why would you force someone to use Linux? It isn’t your computer and if you are helping them you should do what they want. I wouldn’t be surprised if they bought a new machine and then ghosted you.
It’s not hers. it’s one of my computers that i am deploying to her house for her and her family to use.
It’s technichally for my neice but the rest of the family all also have access.
no one in that household has expressed a specific preference of operating system. other than my brother in law texting me to tell me one of the old games he tried to install doesnt work (i did promptly offer to “make it work” but he declined).
I have no problem with them installing windows on it if thats what they want. they wont be coming to me for technical support if they do though.

Where did they say they forced anyone? They just said they installed it.
Maybe I’m just reading into it but I read it as they wiped the drive and installed Linux without asking for explicit permission.
Well, based on the rest of their comment, they were “providing support”, so the implication is that the sister asked for help and received it.
I would assume that they informed their sister as to what would be installed. I don’t think it’s fair to assume the worst without context.
