- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of

How often are their systems updated? How often are you remoting in and solving a problem before it arises?
Their systems update regularly, they both use opensuse. I've never remoted in. I could probably figure out how to if i needed to, but that isn't even in my current skill set. No matter what people think Linux is stable and trouble free if you leave it alone, and just use your computer, unless you have nvidia. Fuck nvidia.
I feel like every time I've had to fix someone's Linux install, it was caused by someone trying to add software that they don't need, but are used to using in Windows.
Most recently a friend needed to update Linux Mint, and a TeamViewer ppa was preventing the upgrade from completing. Not a difficult fix, but something that comes up often in my experience.
