Why not just use live updates? No rebooting till they actually have a reason to reboot.

Maybe not that far.

I’d rather eat at an A&W than a McDonalds or a Burger King, too easy.

Good call. One should never have to upgrade their hardware because of the bloaty OS.

just use atuin.

I used to be a Crew Chief of F-15’s in the U.S. AirForce. We had manual patches too. Luckily, that was Supports job duty.

hahahahahahahahahahahaha, I’m ded.

And for Microsoft’s pocket book. And for the U.S. Government’s research purposes.

I hear you can extend the free trial by telling random people you use Arch. Just what I’ve heard. Linux Mint started the same program from what I gather.

https://github.com/orgs/pop-os/projects/23/views/1 still in Alpha 7. When it hits beta, I’m going to jump over as well.

Can confirm. I use Vanilla Ubuntu.

rclone is pretty reliable. That’s how I back up my nextcloud to two different object storage sites. I have Nextcloud dockerized on a VPS in the cloud (among other dockerized services for selfhosting). Been syncing nonstop for 3 years now. I also used rclone to sync all my files from OneDrive directly to my VPS block storage. Rclone is a very underrated utility.

Same. If I’m fixing something, it’s because I did something I knew I shouldn’t; which I rarely do. For instance, forced the upgrade of Ubuntu to 24.04 even though Canonical said that wasn’t ready and had it disabled, but 24.04 was fine for new installs. I went out of my way to enabled the upgrade, let it break, and then I spent 5 minutes fixing the upgrade. Everything was fine after that. That was never my experience when I had to use Windows. It’s like trying to start your carborated engine in the 80s. It’s just a roll of the dice that things don’t work with Windows.

Just use a live boot thumbdrive. Let her get her feet wet. When she sees she has almost no issues or zero issues compared to Windows. She’ll just use Linux by default.

Looks like /u/Luma got you sorted. Awesome feature right? It’s been there for a long as I can remember. This is the best part about Linux. People who use Linux created features that helped them solve problems or made their daily work easier. And you can do the same if you are feeling motivated one day.

That’s what the tty is for, or at worst a bootable thumbdrive, CD, or Floppy. If I can’t switch to a tty, I boot a bootable drive, mount my harddrive, and chroot my install. No second machine required. It’s rare that I fuck something up though. Rest assured it was some bullshit I was trying, zero to do with Linux itself. But I do remember Windows would just bork itself randomly for no reason at all. I’m sure Microsoft has all that resolved now, but man back in the day it was painfully often.

You are. You are supposed pretend, everything you know on Windows should immediately transfer to Linux. Try to do techie things on Linux the Windows way; borking your system. Finally claim Linux isn’t ready for the average user, despite not using Linux like an average user would.

It’s sarcasm.

Fancy.
