I always install openSUSE without removing my buttplug. Or any extra USB cables.

Uhm... Where can I find that? For a friend, of course! (β ββ α΄β ββ βΏβ )
Well, I only know of one and you'll need 12 angry men to pull it out.
Oh yeah I have that too. Just sit on the PC case while you are installing. ( οΏ£β½οΏ£)

i installed linux mint on my sisters household PC last week.
my dad did his usual grumblings about "it should be windows" and i just said "i've been out of the windows ecosystem completely for the last 5 years and partially for another 3 years beyond that. i no longer provide support for windows, if you want them to have windows you need to support it"
he went quiet after that.
Why does your dad have an opinion on what your sister use?
he's still coming round to the fact he's not getting security updates soon due to lack of a TPM module.
He'll be running mint too by the end of the year

Right? OS arguments over Thanksgiving dinner sounds like kind of a good time.

Windows? Not heard of that distro before, sorry.
They must've meant Lindows, very common mistake.
Lindows is deprecated. Must've meant Wubuntu.

Meanwhile me with a CD book that has 17 bootable DVDs and CDs plus a separate DVD+RW for more random, less permanent crap and a portable USB DVD drive (the drive is sourced from e-waste and fails to write both DVD+/-RW and CD-RW at 4x, only 2.4x and 10x respectively work).
I like spinny media.
I mean, I also have a Ventoy disk, but I haven't used it for a looooong time because it's no fun, but discs are.
I just need a bigger backpack. The WRT54GL is taking up quite some space too.
Much cooler than ventoy, no?
You have all that up your ass!? ( ; οΎΠοΎ)
I mean, they have a hole in the middle, so if I stack them they let stuff pass.
I- I didn't think of that...

Impressive, very nice. Let's see Paul Allen's 256GB Ventoy USB with 118 Linux distros and 36 ISO boot tools up his ass

My 77 year old mother-in-law runs Pop cause of me and loves it.
My parents love Bazzite.
Is Pop as good and generally user friendly for those less familiar with Linux? Never heard of Pop before!
PopOS is great, the installation process is like 5minutes, with 4 minutes being the download and boot from USB. From there on you click "next" 5 times and are rebooting into a working system.
To be absolutely honest, I had to do some googling and command line stuff to get my fingerprint reader in the laptop working but that was the only thing that needed any attention. But I never did a Windows install where I didnt have to configure at least 2-3 drivers, so I consider it a draw.
From there one it is the typical stuff: You need one proprietary software? You have to figure it out for hours how to get it to work. You are fine with open source options? Go enjoy a blazing fast ad-free non intrusive non annoying OS. For me the trade of is worth it. Been using Linux since I was 14, if I could do it from my kids room with parents switching of WLAN after 22:00 you can do it too.

Just install Linux Mint, they'll never find out.
As a fresh convert not having my .exes work would be sus. But with MS locking more and more stuff in their app store, we're not too far from a full-on windows troll distro.

Got my parents a new computer for Christmas. I didn't feel like acting as their 24/7 tech support so I let it with the Windows 11 that it came with. Yesterday they couldn't get their webcam and microphone to work at all for our weekly family videocall. We ended up having the videocall on Signal. I believe they would face less troubles with Debian at this point.
Too bad my usb stick can only store one distro at a time.
Dude: "Damn... I really want to be able to see the inside of my computer. Why won't anyone help me install windows to the case?"
Installing Linux on your buttplug is a bold move, I say.
118 ISOs, and windows ain't one
Just say youre installing wimdows 13
