oh that’s bad😿😿 yeah that would be a toxic way to look for approval alright ahahah
Please don’t force Linux onto people, it’ll only make them hate it.
I assume they are installing it with their approval…
With consent is perfectly fine, yeah
@isVeryLoud
dw consent comes first🥵🥵 their machine, their choice (until the manufacturer has their saying, that is)I’ve noticed a lot of people are moving to it on there own.
Yes that way they’re trapped and need you for tech support, classic move.
These days installing Linux and upgrading it is easier than it was years ago. Installing Linux can be a good deed indeed :)
If you use modern and painless distro.models. I had a Fedora Atomic bug and the alternative was literally just rebasing to the same OS but automatically the same version and it worked.

@stormio
(not even a) hot take: if they think a Linux system is weird, they are not a real tech geek.But yeah, that is why I only install extremely stable stuff. So that I am basically never asked for shit
If you are gonna have to be anyway, it may as well be one you can run bash scripts on over ssh
I usually just mention it. I don’t give to many details and before you know it they will need tech support.
It is really important that those loved ones understand your language, or else they would get annoyed.
How does this work?? This is a mastodon post but it appears on Lemmy?
OP tagged Linux in the post and that specific tag actually links to !linux@lemmy.ml resulting in the Mastodon post being posted to the community
Supercool
They both use the ActivityPub protocol, this means that Lemmy and Mastodon can communicate with each other.
Yes, the question was how specifically this worked, think I have understood
That’s nearly as helpful as if you have sent a link to the internet’s wiki page
I usually install MX or LMDE. MX KDE and LMDE Cinnamon on newer machines. MX xfce and LMDE xfce on older machiness.
@linux
whoops I did it again.@alpinelinux as a single-boot daily driver for a #windows user with some past @ubuntu experience
@krisfreedain @linux
probably not the right person to ask. I always go for Fedora but am open to hear non-Ubuntu-based alternatives for beginners@krisfreedain @linux
I started from Ubuntu in high school and it felt bloated. I moved to Void which was nice, but not really supported in general. I started recommending Fedora to beginners but started using Alpine as my daily driver. Don’t think I will ever move from Alpine, but maybe I will recommend something other than Fedora in the future.
