The Bombe machines used to decipher Enigma are usually described as being electro-mechanical devices. Perhaps you could argue they were special-purpose computers of a sort, but definitely not the programmable, general-purpose machines most people think of when they hear the word "computer".
The first programmable electronic computer was developed at Bletchley Park, but it wasn't used to decipher Enigma.
I installed Windows 11 Pro 24H2 yesterday and the oobe\bypassnro trick worked for me. You just have to make sure no ethernet cable is connected. Then if you tell the installer you have no internet, it'll let you create a local account.
The SR-71 is really fast and sleek, sure, but how can it be your favourite when it doesn't even have a massive gun that goes BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT!...?
I don't think it's the lyrics that trigger me, though.
As for movies, I can probably relate. I get annoyed when movies try to push my emotional buttons in a way that feels phony or manufactured. A lot of Disney and Spielberg movies tend to have this effect on me.
That also makes me irrationally angry, even though people should be allowed to be wrong...
Seriously, though, I think there's something about the trick(s) these songs use to get stuck in people's heads that triggers a very negative visceral reaction in me, like I'm being violated somehow. This leaves me no room to appreciate the songs' originality or sound design.
"Toxic" by Britney Spears and "Shape of You" by Ed Sheeran both make me irrationally angry.
Using the command prompt is not coding.
Ackshually, whenever you write something into the command prompt and it works, you're writing valid Bash (or whatever shell you're using) code. Bash is a programming language, so technically you are coding.
For example, try typing the following into a terminal:
for ((i = 0; i < 10; i++)); do echo $i; done
You just counted to nine using a loop and a variable!
Any of the large, easy to use distributions should work just fine. I'd recommend a popular distribution because it'll be easier to get help online. So consider Mint, Fedora, OpenSuse, Ubuntu and maybe Pop!_OS.
I think the main consideration should be which DE (desktop environment) she'd like to use. IMO the main contenders would be:
Based on which DE she prefers, I'd suggest getting a distribution that comes with said DE by default, for the best possible integration. How do you figure out which DE she likes best? Put Ventoy on a USB stick along with a few different Linux ISOs. Ventoy wil let you choose which one to boot from a menu. You could get the following ISOs:
Download an ISO for each, install Ventoy on a USB stick and copy the ISOs to the stick. Boot into each ISO and play around with the desktop for a bit. When she's figured out which DE she prefers, install a distribution that comes with that desktop.
