@be4foss @kde
I've been on linux for 15 years, very lazy, I never use CLI..
The walled garden of most community repos & GUI package managers is easier & safer than windows, no defrag, no messing with a registry or periodic restores...

I'm on Debian KDE stable via Spiral [choice of DE's], nice user friendly install, Discovery as package manager, Btrfs & Snapper for recovery/backup, the dev is helpful, Debian help is easy to find

My last daily driver Mageia

@be4foss @kde
I've installed Mageia for low tech seniors over the years, the online version up grade tool, just works, They never call :(
I have an old think pad with Mageia as my backup, tolerates long periods without updates

I like being on the mothership[Debian] :D

But, mostly once the pc's have hardware issues or the users go to phones & Chromebooks

I don't help people with the problem they ain't got, if there is even the slightest interest, I'm there
