  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • 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 sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Shes kinda antivaxx. So prefer a tech-incompetent but kinda politically educated grandma.

    Btw now that my last Grandmother died, I find it pretty weird to talk about Grandmas?

    This is golden. Thank you for sharing.

    edit: A comment from her under the video:

    I was using Windows 7 and 8 but they became unusable because they were not getting anymore updates. Because they were both end of life and I couldn't update my software because Google Chrome and others had dropped support for Windows 7 and 8. Also I was getting crashes and everything was running so slow. So I tried Linux Mint 2 years ago and I have never looked back. I used to like Windows when we had Windows 7 but that's not supported anymore. So there is no option but to either upgrade to Windows 10 or 11. Or install Linux as I did because I did not want to use Windows 10. Windows 11 is even worse than 10. My new laptops came with that and I hated it. I was glad to uninstall it to get it off of my computer and I installed Linux Mint. It was the best thing I ever did as I don't get the problems I had on Windows. It works better than Windows 7 in fact. I only wish I had switched to Linux sooner.

    lmao true, the old style of linux mint is easier for older people

    I also still prefer that standard old Windows layout on my Plasma setup. Used to install Mint for my Grandmother's first second hand laptop too though, it's a great distro for casual users.
