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 We look forward to her first open source contribution. 😜 Does she prefer emacs or vi? Tabs or spaces? You did inform her that she can’t use #Linux without having opinions on these things, right?

You're being a bit lame, don't you think.

It's a long time ago that you needed to be a nerd or to have knowledge of programming to comfortably use #Linux.

@sibrosan No, I don’t think it’s lame. It’s gentle fun at nobody’s expense. Maybe you don’t think it’s funny. That’s ok. I don’t think it is harmful at all.
