My non-tech literate aunt has been running her Ebay business from a laptop running Fedora with unattended upgrades for 3 years now. She manages her expenses in Libreoffice calc and accesses everything else through Chrome and prints labels on an old USB HP printer. I don’t think she’s even noticed I switched her over from Windows 10 when her machine was getting slow.

My Dad’s laptop is also on Fedora (though he mainly just uses an Android tablet these days) and I intend to install it on my Grandma’s PC when Windows 10 stops being supported. So for the people who’d be happy with something like a Chromebook, which is a good chunk of older folks, it’s perfect and I can easily provide support.

That being said if I had to deal with helping kids who wanted to game and use Bluetooth bits and pieces surrounded by RGB crap then yea outside of a few well supported options it could be a nightmare depending on what they’ve got.

Scientists are freaking out about ocean!

So no one told ya Phoebe isn’t spelt that way…

As much as I like electric cars this could be done with pretty much any petrol or diesel car with an inverter.

Yea, or do I become me as a six year old in the modern day?

If it was a monkey paw type of situation you’d probably become a six year old child in pre-historic times.

With the red pill, do I go back in time to when I was 6 with all of my knowledge or become a different 6 year old now with all of my knowledge?

The old Sesame Street episodes are on Netflix and are tagged as not suitable for children

Oh boy, I’m feeling ultra smug now. Been using a Keepass database synced via Syncthing for about 3 years now
