I don’t use Ubuntu myself but I put Zorin on my dad’s computer. He 82 and he doesn’t know what an operating system is. He seems to be able to use it though 🤷

I don’t get the anger. Just install your software as snaps. What’s the problem?
Amiga Workbench called them drawers. I’m sticking with drawers.
45·1 year agoI stopped using Facebook 10 years ago, but I’m loathed to actually delete my account because every once in a while, a long lost friend or relative contacts me there. It would be a shame to lose touch with people. Ultimately I care about that more than privacy. It’s the same with Whatsapp. I’ve made a concerted effort to convince my immediate family to try XMPP, Delta Chat and Signal, but they just won’t install another app unless everyone they know is using it. I find it a bit frustrating, but that’s reality. So I have to keep using Whatsapp.
It can work. I used a dating website (pre smartphone) and I just put in a photo of myself sitting at my computer and a list of bands and movies I liked. My wife approved and asked me out on a date.
