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 Your story is even better than mine ❤️ My then 70-year-old dad wanted to get on the Internet a decade ago. I got him a 16-inch Dell laptop and installed Ubuntu on it. He has been using it to this day even though the battery is cooked. Only had one upgrade that failed on me in the mean time. I am grateful to my younger self for all the bullets dodged.
