#isortofusearch — Public Fediverse posts

I'm going to reiterate a point I made in someone else's thread - anyone who remembers windows 7 or 8 before they ended up on windows 10 has a far greater understanding that there is not only one UI design than someone who's only ever used Windows 10 / 11.

My mum is 75 and I just moved her onto Ubuntu. She is delighted. Her laptop is flying rather than taking forever to do anything, and she has her lace and cross stitch apps there under wine.

She excitedly tells her fellow rafters, stitches and lace makers. Of which she is a youngster.

I've been around since MSDOS 6.22.
The stumbling block for moving to Linux is largely the generation below me that didn't have the seismic shifts in UI, it makes coping with a new interface feel more of an imposition.

For work I use #Ubuntu with the #regolith desktop. At home I have use #debian, #antix and have recently discovered #omarchy so #ISortOfUseArch

Make the jump, we're here to help.
