Put linux mint on my roomate’s yoga laptop. There was about 3 days intermittently peppered with questions that were easy to answer, and there hasn’t been anything since. Probably the smoothest transition I’ve seen so far.
Ah the Linux-trans pipeline. It doesn’t have to be all dysphoric when supported by people who love you.
Mint definitely is a god send for non tech people with a generic computer usage.
Evil tongues might insinuate that they stopped using their laptop in frustration because your roommate doesn’t want to bother you all the time lol.
In sincerity, good job :-)
Maybe. But I installed Mint on my 90 year old grandma’s laptop last year and she’s been using it to attend her church’s zoom meetings with no problems.
Now if I could just get the printer to work without having to constantly delete the CUPS cert…
Now get them to install a typescript node stack with versions that actually works with the libraries they are trying to use…
“This is unfixable, sir. I’m sorry. D’ya wanna hear our prayer line?”.
“It’s ‘fuck you NVIDIA!’”
“and all the other greedy companies”
Colors are flipped
Have you tried turning it off and on again?
ROFL Um, I just tell them to be very careful. Don’t do something you can’t understand. There is documentation out there for you to read, and don’t talk to prompt slop bots…They can’t help you. As honestly, I can do most things on my own, however, helping others is hard. Like too hard.
Install Ubuntu, never need to support again.
For good reasons. For the best reasons.
Because they get support from Canonical with their Ubuntu Pro subscription 🤗
Have you tried Gentoo?
