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 - it's the nearly - and over - 80 year old moms and dads and uncles and aunts (and sometimes weird neighbours in their garage) who essentially created the personal computer and the OSs and software that run on them.

They probably know better than the rest of us what 'just works', and what are simply "Squirrel!" products.
