Apparently my love language is installing @linux on the laptops of people I really care about.

    As with providing any kind of support, it’s important to get out of your own head and understand what the person your helping wants and needs

    Yes because someone that uses MS Word 6-8 hours a day certainly doesn’t want to use Linux and have compatibility issues while sharing documents with others who do the same.

      Both of my parents heavily use O365 and I have to fight the urge to suggest linux every time they complain about automatic updates or weird microsoft integrations.

      Part of me really wants to try Fedora or Mint for them instead of the incoming windows 11 update, but it’s such a bad fit
