Seconding this. I put my mom’s laptop on Mint because that was easier than supporting her on Windows. She freaking loves it because she’s not constantly bring pestered to sign into accounts, and she has an easy way to get software and features added to her computer without needing to call me.

Yeah, I was going to add that application management is so much better in Mint than the Windows store has ever been. Winget works alright, but you gotta use powershell for it, so “90% of users will think your product is shit.”

I asked the “free” copilot one time to make a 6x6 grid of letters where each row and each colum formed a word in English, and none of the words formed were re-used in the grid.

Copilot chewed on that for about 15 minute and finally gave up and told me I could solve it myself.

Easy way to spend a lot of tokens doing nothing.
