      Tech support has been my status since I was 12. Honestly, I enjoy being able to explain stuff like this.

        Yeah, same, stuff like why is Linux on my computer now, why are ads blocked, where is Chrome, etc - listen, I’m the only tech support you have, you get what you get, and you get FOSS.

        Honestly it worked fairly perfectly for me over the decades.

      Me being tech support is WHY i said that. I told my family either use Linux or leave me alone. Half of them let me install Linux and I’ve not needed to do anything in years. They are basic users aka open chrome and nothing else and unlike windows Linux doesn’t constantly kill itself over time.

      I occasionally ssh in to make sure updates are still working and once to setup a new printer remotely but that’s it

      Exactly. If someone recommends Linux to a person in real life, they deserve what’s coming to them.

      “IF I’M ALREADY DOING SUDO WHY IS IT PROHIBITED?” “THE ETC FOLDER? WHICH ONE?”
