edit: for anyone curious, the problem was Xorg wasnt loading or something (stuck on systemd ‘graphical interface target reached’ with no graphical interface). because of a typo in a config file.

      I question who these imaginary windows users are.

      I set up Windows for my parents. The biggest challenges is them not not knowing how to log into their email. Every 2-3 years, I move their stuff to the cloud and throw in a fresh Windows. Did that for 15 years. Not once did I have to mess with any weird settings for them.

      During the pandemic, hating windows 11, I switched them over to linux. Every month, there’s a new problem. Audio stopped working. Had some DNS issues (that required me to zoom call my brother) They did some weird things where they downloaded two Google chromes (?). I’d have to run updates manually because I don’t trust them to open up terminal.

      Already Linux for my parents requires more support than anything else.

      I still plan to keep encouraging them to use Linux, because I really don’t like the new WIn11 updates.
