@candywashing "While husband abuse does happen, it is less statistically common"
Not according to the CDC's studies, or honestly almost every other study about the issue.
"Suggesting people 'just' use FOSS is often unhelpful, because it assumes they have sufficient computer abilities and/or have the time to learn how."
I mean, it took my parents in law 10 minutes to learn and they're almost 80. Realistically, if you're using a computer, you have sufficient computer abilities and time to learn Linux.
@morrowind funny to find this here when I wrote my reply just a while ago:
"It's like talking to someone who is in a crappy apartment as though they have the agency and skills to stake out a plot of land and build their own home."
Maybe if you're suggesting them to install Linux From Scratch, then yes, it is.
If you're suggesting them them to install any of the many very simple (and very usable OOTB) distros like Fedora, then it's not.
In that case it's like the house is free, already built and furnitured, and right next to their own; but they have to move their personal belongings from one house to the other and learn a different room layout.
Sure, they still have the right to complain about how their landlord treats them like crap. But they sound pretty damn stupid if they do so while having an available free house right next door, and refusing to move because they don't want to learn a new room layout.
@flumph if they allowed sorting the list by race, instead of by gender... would you understand how it's discrimination, then?
I've been using Silverblue for over two years, and it's only brought me joy. I highly recommend it.
I have been using Linux for so long that I can't compare it to Windows anymore... I just don't remember what Windows was like.
But I can tell you I installed Linux on my wife's computer, and then some time later on my in-laws' computers, and they've been loving it ever since. Never had an issue, never had any nuisance. They say they love how it just gets out of their way and let's them do their thing.
I don't know if that's something you'd be interested in?
That's great to hear. I'll be subscribing ASAP.
Do you intend to try and move the community somewhere else, e.g. here?
This is probably the first time I hear the words "they're native to Australia" and I don't think "oh, thank God".
Yup, a Matrix client (especially Element) is a great choice.
@Fredol a simple, clean-looking GTK4 client for Syncthing.
