For preserving the least toxic and most culturally relevant Tumblr heritage posts.

Image descriptions and plain text captions of written content are expected of all screenshots. Here are some image text extractors (I looked these up quick and will gladly take FOSS recommendations):

-web

-iOS

-android

Please begin copied raw text posts (lacking a screenshot that makes it apparent it is from Tumblr) with:

I dunno, Linux Mint Cinnamon is pretty dang close to the standard Windows 7 experience. He'll have an adjustment period of about 2 weeks running into minor differences and then not have any issues.

Oh I am sure of that, thats how I got into Linux :p

But now convince a 70 year old man that the one thing he has been consistently using for almost a decade and a half is in need of a change.

But really I may push him on it again, I've assured him he can get to his excel documents and all that but it doesnt seem like enough and is now irate with the ads in solitare

Can you get away with just installing it and telling him it's the new windows?

[–] bbuez@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

You know, if there's a real nice solitare applet just maybe

You mean like installing Windows 11 when he's used to Windows 10 or even older? 😁

He's on 10 now, with some gripes that I likely could regedit, it really depends how harsh w10 EOL goes and how hard they try to fill some landfills

Worked with my 76 year old dad. He happily does all of his stuff on Manjaro. Vivaldi looks like on Windows. And Kodi is even better than the satellite TV crap he had on Windows.
