I watch people STEP OVER a sign that states “Elevator is in service” at least 3 every time. I watch people throw GARBAGE in a battery recycling bin, every day. When I ask if it was a battery they threw in there they say no, I just saw recycling on the bin. There is a picture, 50cmx50cm, with 8 different batteries on it. Either that or literacy has dropped to near 0

I’ll see 3-5 digital ads, on my phone at lunch in 20 mins, everything else is 100% ad free. I grew up with 80s tv commercials, nothing affects me now, lol, I also haven’t had cable in, woah, 25 years Also not from the states

how many people see that page tho? when i open a new tab i don’t even see the page, I open new pages quite often, all i see is the address bar until i type and hit enter. never even saw the “sponsored content”

Thats beautiful. mines been watching me for about 5 months game and everything else. Today she is setting up ESO and the addons and may poke around to personalize her system. Bonus, as I removed her windows drive, she found some files she didn’t know she had but really wanted. Tonight we get the last bits setup. I forgot that the nvme in her system, my old pc from 5 years ago, only had a 120gb capacity I replaced it with a 1TB nvme

unless they need kernel level anticheat, the rest should work. just demonstrate how well your system runs these apps and that should help. just be ready to be their on-call tech hehe

Yeah, once the hardware issue is covered we are golden. She has about 90% of what she needs now, tonight we fix the rest, like programming the buttons on her g13. ESO and Mc installed no problem, Minion was a bit til I got flatpak going, should be fun tonight finishing it all off

Oh, my teaching of the file system is (and the video does it nicely) these are your folders, these are not your folders just like in windows hehe once i finish the last touches she won’t really know she is on linux

thats the one, ty, I just hope it works on her chinese knock off hehe. the mouse and standard buttons work fine so far

Oh, TIL. Nice, ty

oh nice, I will go down the zfs rabbit hole one day, but not today hehe thank you

Oh yeah! Meant to do that on mine, ext4 is what I am using, but yeah she will get btrfs as timeshift suggested it when I finally activated it last month

If I had gone with mint I would have brought her on it as well as it is easier for me to support what I am using, tho if I were to set her up and then never help mint is the way. The only DEs I really used ever were Gnome and KDE, I did play briefly with XFCE and another one I can’t remember from the early 00s

edit: forgot to thank you for the offer of assistance

lol

I found 4 different G13 “drivers” on github, the only one that worked was the one all the others forked from

Base buttons (left, right, wheel), yes they will work, just the 12 on the side need to be programmed (look at the razor naga for an equivalent example to her mouse)

That will be a fine day

Oh, perfect, thanks. I’ll take the easy route and check this repo out

I think they use that to poison AI scrapers, someone that uses this said that a while back

Yeah, simple as possible. She has 2 drives (a new 1tb m.2 and iirc a 1 or 2tb platter) and that will be the extent of partitions, I even stopped doing partitions on my systems this time around. I didn’t plan on doing a vm, now I just might, (is there a container or something ready to dl? I seem to recall reading that a bit ago. Iit has been a long time since I used a vm, is it possible to clone her active windows into a vm?) her proprietary needs are simply G13, ESO and Minecraft, the rest as you say are web based. HELL no to external repos, except the G13 one, I certainly do want it simple for her. Over the past 4 months I’ve been scrutinizing the updates before running em and have had 1 issue with FF but the rest has been a dream.

As I said I’m leaving her a rip cord in case she just doesn’t like it, I don’t see her having issues after a week of use.
