Hi Linus,
So been about 3 months since I handed a dell E6400T
laptop loaded with fedora 36
booting up to the welcome screen waiting to finish the install to senior
citizen neighbor who couldn't support windows 10, asked me two days later if it
was safe to do his banking on, "all I ever use", I answered along with an
expression of deep gratitude for the gift that was his only question. "Just
keep it up to date whenever it prompts for it", and I haven't heard a peep
since.
With apologies to Bing Crosby; "It's beginning to look a lot like the year of
linux desktop".
"haven't heard a peep since."? Well, there's only one way that happens
-- your neighbor has no reason to bother you, and there are two ways that happens -- 1)
the desktop is working well and not causing problems or 2) your neighbor is not using it.
(-:
You did the right thing in either case.
