I still can't even that my now nearly 80 year old mom has been on Fedora on a thinkpad e520 (2011) for a decade and it all just works.

I checked her laptop just now and it's fully up to date on fedora 43, so she's done like 20 version upgrades autonomously too. The battery has degraded a little but the whole thing still works fine and she's very happy with it.

This is how things should be, this is peak computing tbh.

@anthropy ugh I wish I had done that.
Every time we visit I have to troubleshoot a bunch of Microsoft bullshit and deal with their wacky tablets..

@maj @anthropy I started switching my family over last summer. “Y’all gonna have to buy new hardware for Windows 11, or you could keep your devices and try a Linux distribution.” Let them try different distros and DEs on distrosea.com, installed dual boot. (Just don’t let them choose a distribution you can’t actually support.)
