For 3 years now I originally bought about half a dozen desktops from Intel gen 2, a couple C2D’s and an AMD IDK what is offhand and yet after offering a FREE computer (FREE as in FREEDOM that happens not to cost any money but rather in time to learn…etc etc.) if any of them sat down long enough to learn how to use GNU/Linux enough to run GPG and write encrypted messages and read software signatures…
Included keyboards, monitors, mouse, etc. and more (even USB3, NVME etc.) for boys educations being fulfilled, that is NO FINANCIAL COST.
Yeah, half a dozen acceptances and only one actually going through to finish and learn. My wife.
I’m trying to figure out how to teach people and learn such myself but despite claims no real acceptance. I don’t write software and even my father who does…fucking Apple. facepalm
I wouldn’t accept something like that either, you can’t force people to just waste (in their view) countless of hours on something they don’t care about.
People can use whatever they like, and I’m guessing your dad only wants to use Apple more because of everyone telling him to stop using it.
It’s not that at all. Maybe its what it sounds like when I say it but what I’m offering is a computer in for education. My education on how to talk to people.
Because I explain all this and you fuckers downvote me. Wtf? Lmfao. You fucking humans deserve to fucking die for being selfish idiots who don’t devote to learning what our true messiah this age spoke of. Let alone what he coded.
You might have more success if you dial it back, average users don’t need that deep of an understanding. They just need a functional system that does what they expect it to.
I’ve converted several family members to Linux to ease my own role as their tech support. And it was as simple as preloading things they’d need, showing them what the new browser/email/whatever looked like, showing them the new “app store” (KDE Discover), and telling them to call me if it breaks. Some of them explored further and learned how the system works, others were just happy to click the buttons I showed them. None of them regret the change.
I don’t give a fuck about those people. I’ll be honest to anyone. The offer is an exchange. My computer for education upon me on how to talk to people. If you can’t tell, I know lots of words but not very well upon how to use them.

Are you okay or have you gone insane?
Right. Make an accusation when you have nothing useful to say. You’re fucking brilliant. Jackass.

GPG is THE objective. Not anything else.
