Curious on the experiences of those recently migrating to Linux from Windows 10, Intel-based MacOS, etc. How is it being on Linux? Anything surprise or frustrate you?

    I’ve switched systems some 15? years ago. But my mum did it recently, so I asked her this question. (Disclaimer: she isn’t the one managing her machine. Guess who does it.)

    She claims it’s basically the same thing. She was surprised her start menu got different some days ago (when I updated her Mint), but it was the good type of surprise, like, “ah, it shows my profile pic now!”. Then she rambled about things that disappear from her email, but that is not an OS issue, it’s PEBKAC (she’s extremely disorganised). And… that’s it.

      This is something I would love to do for people on a professional basis… I’m laying the groundwork for it right now (side hustle and fallback cushion for if the American 3rd party contract ends, esp. before 2029).

      FOSS transitions and tech help, senior target demo, but basically anyone, even solo/small businesses… saving money, and sanity!
