Put linux mint on my roomate's yoga laptop. There was about 3 days intermittently peppered with questions that were easy to answer, and there hasn't been anything since. Probably the smoothest transition I've seen so far.

    Mint definitely is a god send for non tech people with a generic computer usage.

    Evil tongues might insinuate that they stopped using their laptop in frustration because your roommate doesn't want to bother you all the time lol.

    In sincerity, good job :-)

    ROFL Um, I just tell them to be very careful. Don't do something you can't understand. There is documentation out there for you to read, and don't talk to prompt slop bots...They can't help you. As honestly, I can do most things on my own, however, helping others is hard. Like too hard.

    Install Ubuntu, never need to support again.

    Now get them to install a typescript node stack with versions that actually works with the libraries they are trying to use…
