I wish every time someone talked shit about operating systems they woke up having switched OS with their grandmother.
Good thing I installed Mint on her PC then.
I called her and convinced her to switch to DOS. Now you can play Chuck Yeager’s air combat. You’re welcome.
Commander Keen, ftw.
Zzt and Mechwarrior, thank u drive thru.
Same lmao, but for both my grandparents
They still haven't noticed anything different.
They definitely have, they are just being nice.
You gravely underestimate my grandparents' inexperience with tech.
Mint is just Windows 10 but Linux anyway for normal use
Cinnamon:
– Mom can we get windows?
– We already have windows at home.
AfterliveOS?
I would be so okay with this. My grandmother was a boss with a badass gaming rig.
What does that mean? Have the OS she had? Windows 10, I personally debloated it haha
No fair you cheated. She clicked an update for windows 11 and she loves Cortana!
She can't rice worth shit.
I would have iPadOS 💀 Thankfully I hate all OS's equally.
I don't think my grandmother used computers
Amen. Getting tired of this pointless bashing. They each have their flaws. I would love to be all-in on Linux but will probably never get there.
