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.
thanks but that looks way too complicated. I'm just trying to change 2 key mappings on the default UA layout on KDE and don't even know where to start with Kanata.
Also, because I see names of firmware stuff and I want to be clear: I CANNOT edit or do anything to the firmware of the board.
Just FYI, or rather FTI, the arch wiki can still be a useful tool for non-arch distro. Debian also has a wiki.
They need to understand there are differences between arch and Mint, of course, and also some between Debian and Mint to an extent, but those tools can still provide helpful info.
I normally go with Mint as a recommendation but generally speaking you must understand these people will ask you for help for any small issue, so it will be a lot easier if you use the system yourself.
Now, I use ArchBTW with KDE, and I would never recommend arch to a new user (KDE is a good choice tho), meaning I normally recommend Mint (from experience I know noobs love it), so I am in this awkward situation where I have to provide tech support to mint users usually (tho TBF so far only 1 person and the real issue is that his laptop is dying but he hasn't come to terms with it) and it is sometimes annoying because I don't know the settings layout and all that stupid GUI shit (I love using the CLI a lot if you couldn't tell)
Make her install Gentoo in her own and make sure to berate her at every step /s
Personally I would go with something that has KDE so she gets fancy animations and stuff, but Mint is a perfectly valid choice too (cinnamon also has some cool stuff to toy around with but not as much imo). Just make sure to show her how to install stuff, and put adblockers and shit in the browser. Also highly recommend installing some of the linux games.
Unfortunately I don't play anymore because I barely have time to game and the latest news from the game unfortunately show me it is a dying game, sonI'd rather keep the good memories and play something else when I have time sadly.
Just cause you opt out of those features doesn't mean the car doesn't have other mandatory shit that connects to the internet to, say, sell data like the exact times and locations of when you have sex.
Inb4 "but I don't have to worry about it cause I don't have sex" we know, but that's not the only thing they gather data on.
Both of my statements are correct. Cars shouldn't have internet and there should be less cars. In total absence of offline cars (meaning no used cars, nothing at all), use bikes and public transportation if you can.
I mean you literally asked for an alternative and I gave you one.
