I’m sorry to hear about your child’s condition. Hope they can find a cure for it soon, wish you all the best.

Sir this is the nerd zone, and here you are complaining that there’s nerds in the nerd zone talking about nerd things.

I convinced many of average Joes and Marys to switch without issue, never have I had to bother tell them what a wayland or X11 is, I just put Linux Mint on their laptops, give them a few practical tips (stuff like “use the app store instead of scouring websites for your software”), things just work and they happily go do whatever they do with their PC.

Which distro?

Whichever one you prefer.

I don’t have the Windows issues you all tell me I have

Cool, /c/windows is over here you might probably enjoy it more than this place.

Tech worker and enthusiast vs slopper

I’m sure “she used windows” will hold up in court

You bring on some interesting points and I will definitely read your comments. Thank you.

Last I checked they’re not very keen on repairability (Being able to remove glass and being able to fix everything are two different things) and sustaniability (and no making a phone more efficient/produce less ghg/etc does not mean caring about sustainability when your whole model is mass producing and selling new phones every year while encouraging customers to ditch their current functioning phones for the new one, sometimes by purposefully removing support for them or bricking them with updates)
