The Flight Attendant1d ago
My elderly mom recently got scammed out of $17,500 by a close friend & had to get all new bank accounts. I'm currently visiting her & setting up all of her automatic bill payments. While using her desktop computer, I realized that it doesn't qualify for Windows 11 so I'm looking at new PCs, comparing them to her old one... It seems like all of the affordable options would be a downgrade in RAM. Lol, her current computer is from 2017 & she still has the original box it came in.

@CosmicTraveler just as meta commentary, I love how half of the comments in this thread are "have you thought about Linux?" When the next post explicitly says "... and I don't want to switch her to Linux ..."

Us Linux stans slaying it in the comments.

@unsafelyhotboots I wish I felt comfortable enough with Linux to try it again. I've only personally ever used Linux once on a laptop around 2007 and it eventually just stopped working & I gave up. I really like the idea of Linux. But now that my mom has been scammed financially, if anything ever happened with her online banking I would feel like it's my fault. And all she has ever used is Windows. But i knew where i was posting this- so that's why I made the 2nd post 😂

@CosmicTraveler Linux has come a long way since then, but agreed on the wisdom of not using your 80 something mom as the guinea pig.
