I wish every time someone talked shit about operating systems they woke up having switched OS with their grandmother.

Good thing I installed Mint on her PC then.

I called her and convinced her to switch to DOS. Now you can play Chuck Yeager’s air combat. You’re welcome.

Same lmao, but for both my grandparents

They still haven't noticed anything different.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

They definitely have, they are just being nice.

You gravely underestimate my grandparents' inexperience with tech.

Mint is just Windows 10 but Linux anyway for normal use

I would be so okay with this. My grandmother was a boss with a badass gaming rig.

What does that mean? Have the OS she had? Windows 10, I personally debloated it haha

No fair you cheated. She clicked an update for windows 11 and she loves Cortana!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

She can't rice worth shit.

I don't think my grandmother used computers

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I would have iPadOS 💀 Thankfully I hate all OS's equally.

Amen. Getting tired of this pointless bashing. They each have their flaws. I would love to be all-in on Linux but will probably never get there.
