Not really, i first used Linux in 2001 or 3… It’s been some time. I think it was fedora 1. I was 21/3.

First installed Linux in 2008, Ubuntu 8.04 and started daily driving Ubuntu 10.04 in late 2010.

Since then I’ve used a lot of different distros, I’m now running mint.

In saying that, my son has only had Linux (and Chromebooks at school), I got him to help install his own system, he was 7 at the time.

I think at this point XKCD should be a TLD.

I would join lemmy.xkcd in a heartbeat.

A few years ago, I installed mint 21.1 on my mum’s old NUC; a 2013 model; was running Win7.

I said, it doesn’t meet the minimum for Win10, so it was either buy something new or try Linux.

Just got back from visiting them, I updated it to 21.3, still running fine. It still does everything they need.

Mum even said, “it always just works”. A great endorsement, as a non-technical user mum needs a no fuss distro, mint works so well in this regard.

I guess that pineapple they are fucking you with has a silver lining
