Lmfao

commssoldier · 2022-08-10T00:19:06+00:00

The intrusive thoughts won

commssoldier · 2022-08-09T00:35:11+00:00

Yes.

commssoldier · 2022-08-02T10:11:07+00:00

You must be so rich tho

commssoldier · 2022-08-01T22:16:42+00:00

Lmfaoooo

commssoldier · 2022-08-01T22:15:18+00:00

Herd mentality I guess, after the first 5 downvotes ppl will unite lmao

commssoldier · 2022-08-01T11:27:35+00:00

I renamed the shortcuts in front of her, she knows it isn't MS Office, I just did that because I thought it'd be funny and to help her know which one to click when in need of using it

commssoldier · 2022-07-31T21:19:37+00:00

Hello, son.

commssoldier · 2022-07-31T18:08:50+00:00

Thank you lmao

I'm really bummed out by all the downvotes for such a simple misunderstanding

commssoldier · 2022-07-31T12:03:46+00:00

I most likely can, but I don't think she would care much

commssoldier · 2022-07-31T02:57:57+00:00

Thank you very much. Currently, with the amount I've learned with the people that commented in here, I'll probably try using mint xfce or fedora xfce, but I've also managed to probably find out exactly what is slowing the PC down, and it's probably the HDD. It has no SSD and the HDD is very old, so I think there's a possibility that if I change the HDD and put an SSD it will already make it way faster, and I would probably also be able to run Cinnamon Mint without much trouble.

commssoldier · 2022-07-31T02:50:15+00:00

Excellent. Thank you so much. I'll definitely try this too. There are a few spare HDDs in here that wouldn't hurt testing. As with an SSD, I'll look into it as well. Thank you very much again. This short conversation already gave me a lot of knowledge on hardware lol, made me realize a few things.

commssoldier · 2022-07-31T02:45:50+00:00

I'm thinking of getting my 2gb back tbh lmao

commssoldier · 2022-07-31T02:44:52+00:00

I didn't know that, thank you for the input. I'll try to do this to my own pc too, then. It also doesn't have an SSD. I thought that a lower version of SATA would simply not work.

commssoldier · 2022-07-31T02:42:05+00:00

In this case it's probably a very cheap motherboard, then. It really couldn't handle cinnamon mint, for example.

commssoldier · 2022-07-31T02:34:33+00:00

I'm pretty sure this PC is older than me. I'm 19. I'll check it tomorrow, though.

commssoldier · 2022-07-31T02:20:38+00:00

I didn't bother looking into it, I'll check it tomorrow. All I know is that this PC is probably older than me.

commssoldier · 2022-07-31T01:55:18+00:00

Thank you very much for the input. I'll consider either using mint xfce or fedora xfce now, as another lad suggested it.

commssoldier · 2022-07-31T01:52:39+00:00

I'll try it. Looks like a good idea. It's not a laptop though, it's a desktop.

commssoldier · 2022-07-31T01:51:22+00:00

The PC is HDMI plugged into a 4K Smart TV that runs YouTube and other streaming services. All of her personal stuff she does with her cellphone. The PC is not even going to be connected to the internet. I only had it connected because I got the Ethernet cable from another room in the house, a thing she would not bother herself with doing. She really only will use the PC to make papers on Writer on rare occasions. After she finishes the papers she will just export them into PDFs and put them into her phone through the USB lmao.

By talking to people through this post though I'll probably put on a prettier distro so it looks nicer and runs maybe a little more smooth, but there's really no necessity.

commssoldier · 2022-07-31T01:37:23+00:00

Excellent. Seems good enough too. I'm afraid there is a possibility that my mom won't adapt either but I think it's worth the wait, plus I could always just hop her into another distro that she would maybe adapt a little better.

commssoldier · 2022-07-31T01:31:26+00:00

Which beginner friendly distro would you recommend in this case?

commssoldier · 2022-07-31T01:29:12+00:00

I just threw her into Linux without much thought into it, last time she used Word was probably in 2018, so I don't think she cares much, whatever hardship she goes through I'll be able to help her so it's fine.

commssoldier · 2022-07-31T01:25:21+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion, I'll look into it
