My elder aunt must be a genius then. Because she figured out linux and has been using it for a decade entirely on her own. All it took was wanting an old laptop back and having access to the internet. She never asked me anything, and one day was using Ubuntu like it was nothing notable. Seriously, it only takes engaging in good faith and having a brain on while doing it.
Yes your aunt is 1 in a million.
Not bad for a nurse.
A self discovered linux user and shes a nurse? What a Queen.
I don't really understand why so many on Lemmy believe that the most useless person they know is representative of the average person or "most people." My own experience is more like yours.
