Lmfao guess he doesn’t need you to help him setup his email port settings or have any issues with audio drivers or any of the other common issues we see with Linux installs.

Why would a random 83 year old set up his own email port configs? He signs into gmail.com like everyone else, let's be realistic if we're gonna talk shit

I worked for an ISP residential tech support for 3 years. Don’t tell me what’s realistic lmfao. I experienced it very, very often. And they sure as fuck couldn’t do it in windows.

We can compare anecdotes if you want, I've been in tech twice as long as you were and I can count on one hand the number of people doing their own IMAP setup. That remains the same if you go back to me being a child.

There's no need to be a dick man, this is a nerd forum for awarding fake internet points. Chill out.

Still in tech, 9 years now lol. Again. People do and they run into issue with it. Denying my perspective and acting like it’s invalid is obnoxious.

No, because like 99% of people on this planet, he uses webmail, and I haven't seen audio fail out of the box on a Linux install in 15 years.

99% of the planet don’t use webmail. Fair that you haven’t seen one. I’ve read it recently and often though so :shrug:
