  • I love Linux and I think a lot of my non-technical family members would benefit from it, but I am not as brave as you. The danger with messing around with someone’s computer is that you are basically taking ownership of all tech problems the person may run into. It’s like the “You break it, you buy it” rule. The person may seek help from another tech geek, but as soon as that geek finds out they’re dealing with a “weird” Linux system, they’re going to run away from it. You are effectively volunteering to be 24x7 on-call tech support for the people whose laptops you’ve installed Linux on.

    I’ve been interested in the Fediverse for a long time but didn’t have any reason to jump into it because the applications I was aware of did not appeal to me. If I don’t use Twitter and Instagram, why would I be interested in Mastodon and Pixelfed? This all changed when Reddit announced their API change. Reddit is the only social media site I use, so Lemmy seems like the perfect reason to jump in.
