  • I have a colleague. She doesn’t like Windows (more like she doesn’t like MS spying), has a laptop with Ubuntu, but she also doesn’t like change.

    This put her in weird situation, when she still has PC with Windows 7, outdated firefox and complains youtube is borked all the time. And once she moves to laptop, there’s old Ubuntu (more than couple major releases old) which was never updated, because “she liked it that way”. Guess what? Similar problems.

    I told her many times that if she wanted carefree linux experience, she should update it once in a while, there’s no evil MS behind it, but no. She never updates because reasons. She rather visit some obscure website that presents some terminal commands she doean’t understand, but copy them over anyway and voila… the linux is in even worse state than before.
