It could not be simpler.

My grandfather in law kept getting scammed and installing viruses while on Windows. I installed Linux Mint on his desktop last year, setup automatic updates, created a non admin account for him, changed a few easy configurations to hide the technical stuff that appears when you turn the computer on, and he fucking loves it.

Keep in mind getting this man to login to Netflix on his TV is a minimum 30 minute long phone call. One time, we had to send people to check on him because his phone was off for 3 days straight; he put it on airplane mode and couldn’t figure out how to turn it off.

He has had 0, yes, exactly 0, problems with his computer since I installed Linux Mint. It’s faster, to point where he noticed and commented on it, and he finds it easier to use than Windows, which has been on every computer he has ever owned.

He brags to anyone who will give him the time of day how much he loves it.

I promise you, it’s really that easy.

Do they need money for plane tickets? I’d be happy to pitch in

Even the most terrible AAA games sell millions of copies these days. They more than make their money back with each one, the margins are slimmer but the volume is magnitudes higher than ever. Cry me a river.

Weirdly I’m getting BSD vibes, even leaning a little towards MacOS.

Out of curiosity, what perfect wonderland operating system are you using then?

Running in the cloud is another reason to keep paying them every month in perpetuity, rather than just once. Helps keep revenues stable and indefinite.

Took him two days to figure out a hello world in react?

Unsurprising, yet it still speaks volumes.

I’m gonna get some hate for this, I love Valve bringing Linux gaming forwards with the Deck, but at what point is an ROG Ally a better choice?

Unless you’re buying a refurbished steam deck or the 64GB model, you’ll end up in the same price bracket but have a slower APU.

Clearly it’s a dog if the background is green.

Otherwise, it’s fried chicken.

A cop told me after my car was totaled that he called the local tow truck, and the cost was covered by the city.

Imagine my surprise when I went to the tow yard a couple days later and they handed me my $800 bill.
