[Trisquel-users] Getting someone to switch to Trisquel

[hellocomputer8]

A friend of mine (who uses Windows 8; I know that's awful) for some reason  
doesn't understand that Windows 8 is not what my friend should have because  
my friend is trying to find some laptop that's simple; my friend just doesn't  
understand that Windows (or Mac) is NOT /*caps intended*/ the only option. I  
showed my friend this:  
https://static.fsf.org/fsforg/graphics/win8_infographic_final.png but my  
friend didn't really consider the fact that Linux wasn't /*italic*/ that bad.  
So what can I do to convince my friend to switch to Trisquel from Windows 8?  
Should I convince my friend to use things like Cygwin and GIMP on Windows and  
then switch to Trisquel? Should I take a "head first" approach and just tell  
my friend to install it?

(Postscript: I didn't want to mention Windows 8 in this though I sort of had  
to.)
