My father switched to linux (Mint, I think) in his 70s. I was in another state so he did it solo. He had a few questions but otherwise it was smooth sailing.

0·2 months agoTraditionally I’ve been running lighter desktops like opebox, xfce, or lmde. Last couple of years I’ve been using MATE with good results.
In my country that would cost me 20 dollars
The first RAM I bought (SIPP for a 386-16 IIRC) was $50/MB. Jay-sus.
nowadays Mint is Ubuntu with sane default settings that will run out of the box
There’s also an official version of Mint based on Debian (LMDE)
My only hard rule is refrigerated/frozen items together so I can handle that bag first when I put groceries up.

Do you prefer digital or physical books?
Digital. I live in 76ft2 and can no longer store thousands of physical books like I did in a “sticks and bricks” house. But there are ~13,000 easily stored between the e-ink kindle and waiting in the wings in calibre.
Reading is a big part of my retirement plan.
This should be a word. It would mean “trying yet another flavor because it might be The One”
