Reference to Warhammer- there’s an aspect of the magic that, if you have enough people believing a thing, it makes it so.

Orks believe painting things red (like cars,) make them go faster.

gonna laugh when they come back confused about nixos being her fetish.

I’m gonna say windows is more like a cybertruck truck. Full of bloat, spyware, and half the features are not like to slice a finger off than do what it’s supposed to- and definitely not bullet proof.

You realize you can set up commands that get ran on start up, right?

Including one to update apt or whatever package manager and then upgrade.

Most versions of Linux can handle installation with no user input, or leaving the session. Kernel updates require a restart, but the update is already installed.

(Whether you should or not is an entirely different matter.)

Your grandma is one of the cool ones.

It’s a walled garden, so maybe more like those rideshare e bikes or scooters.

I dunno. I won’t mock a person for using Mac.

Microsoft would be more like a cybertruck. Complete with the catching fire bits.

The thing is… arch…. You can actually fix. Most times.

Unlike the proverbial him.

(Not that you should have to.)

yes. And then it’s literally just a… reboot.

You don’t sit there waiting for it to install. It’s just restarting the kernel so the newly-installed version takes over. (and generally it only applies to the kernel updates.)

They still haven’t figured out how to do updates without installing during a reboot.

Something Linux has been doing since the 90’s

Honestly? It actually depends on the friend or colleague.

Arch isn’t as bad as it can seem, especially if you find an installer for it. Something that’s more mainstream linux might be better; though. especially if they’re looking for a “it works” kind of thing.

I use Arch, by the way.

They knew what they were doing.

Nixos?

$ sudo rm police

Cops hate this one trick.

would you believe me if I said I meant bowler cap? or maybe a top hat?

(and this is where I find out that Hannah Montana linux uses a top hat for a logo, lol)

<chuckles> We use dnf here.

<tips hat and runs>

protests are happening everywhere, in every state, though they’re mostly small. the news isn’t covering a lot of them because there’s no rioters and the news can’t push a narrative that people hate trump.

Unless you happen to live fairly close… which is fairly not likely…. So you drive to a rally point or someplace near some transit (or with plausible deniability,) etc. to get in.

Or just conceal your plates and don’t drive something flashy,

there is something to be said about being connected to others. particularly for protests that move around or so you can let people know you’re driving home etc vs locked up for bullshit.

it’s also convenient as a form of souseveillance. Just remember pictures and video are evidence, that cuts both ways; especially in the face of cops being excessive.

(opps, wrong person,)
