The way Apple wants you to transfer files is to install iTunes from the Microsoft store. I do not envy the fact that you have to use an app that hasn't changed much since 2014. Or the Finder on macOS.

Yeah, it's tough switching over but worth it IMO. It cuts twice as deep when you build a custom PC, buy a legitimate copy of windows full price just for stuff like this to happen. I even paid twice because I built my mother a pc.

Surprisingly she asked me to switch her over to Linux after seeing me play games on it. She would always call me up Everytime Microsoft popped up a full screen and trying to sell office 365 and getting her to agree to new privacy settings.

Almost everything she does is online, email, personal accounting in a spreadsheet, using the printer, and some gaming. The hardest part for her was relearning the small stuff like scanning documents and learning which one was her email app. It runs the sims 4 and an ancient game called wizards101 just fine.

The funny thing is I warned her it's not a smooth transition verified multiple times before switching and encouraged her try it on her laptop for about a week or so before switching her main computer. She went through with it though and started to really love it once she figured out the main stuff.

Dirty little distro slut. Actually been pretty loyal to arch since I first switched to linux. If you don't like to struggle I wouldn't recommend arch for new users.🫠

Damn, when did they add the print function in android. I remember when you couldn't print a year ago.

I found it, it was added at the end of last year Firefox for Android ver 118. I can finally disable chrome on android.

That's a lesson I learned switching to macos for a few years. After spending that much I basically had no choice but to learn to adapt.

It did make it a lot easier to switch to Linux later on because I've already abandoned a workflow and a set of apps once already.

If this is the way you act when you ask for help I can't blame them for not helping. There's a lot of assumptions happening here and I really don't appreciate it. I was being really light hearted about the situation, sharing my experience with Linux, and trying to start a constructive conversation. Sorry if the Windows thing rubbed you the wrong way I thought it was kinda funny and a little cheeky. Seriously didn't think anyone cared about windows.

I really do feel for you if you ran into a few assholes on the Internet but that's kinda just the Internet. There are plenty of good people willing to help out so instead of spreading the hate look for better more constructive conversations to have elsewhere.

I'm here to tell you now I don't give a damn who uses Linux or why and I'm especially not interested in selling a fantasy or even bringing up the fact that I use Linux. Windows just got really annoying and Linux does what I need.

It really gets to me when someone gets on their soapbox and slaps labels on people without ever knowing them.

Also fuck hp and the drm cartridge thing. If you get the chance go gangsta on that thing like in office space. My sister got locked out of one of those printers after cancelling her ink refill subscription.

Idk, I had issues on Wayland with Nvidia and switching back to xorg works fine. About the only thing wrong was a lot of screen tearing in games after a driver update.

The live environment is for testing your hardware and trying things out. You'd be surprised how many things do work and you don't need to nuke your system to find out. If it doesn't work you just reboot and everything is back to normal.

Also I don't even bother with figuring out printers on Linux. I'm almost certain they all universally work, some sort of Unix black magic if you ask me.

If your a Windows fan that fine but don't pretend we don't try to make it easy.

It'll be a sad day when the other foot drops. I like Linux but I understand it's not for everyone.

At least pentiums are still supported. Who knows what all those IBM Thinkpad users are capable of if they weren't distracted.

I thought it was funny when cockpit a web interface for Linux servers said my Firefox browser was out of date. It locked me out for security reasons until I accessed it with an updated version of Firefox. I was using archlinux and ran updates that morning.

It wasn't that inconvenient I just SSH into my server for whatever I was doing and they fixed it in about a week.

Well I wish you luck. Moving is no fun IMO

It's not all bad just the federal for the most part. We're working on that but are politicians are as old as the hills. I believe they spend more time listening to corporate lobby pitches than reading the damn news but that's our problem to deal with.

Most of the biggest tech giants have picked up jobs from homeland or the NSA at one point in time or another, Microsoft is just the most prevalent along with Facebook (meta).
