minus-squaremoocow@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up30arrow-down1·1 year agoThough I love Linux with all my heart, i don’t even recommend it to family. Mostly out of fear of having to provide tech support .
minus-squareskomposzczet@vlemmy.netlinkfedilinkarrow-up20·1 year agoAre you not already tech support for your family?
minus-squareXeelee@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up9·1 year agoNo. I only know Linux. At least that’s what I tell them.
minus-squareLSlowmotion@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoGotta do that from now. Thanks for the advice.
minus-squareMrStetson@suppo.filinkfedilinkarrow-up8·1 year agoI do because I already am tech support and Linux is easier than windows. Now my close family uses Linux and very rarely needs any help
minus-squareatmur@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoSame here. I’m going to be tech support anyway, so they might as well be using an operating system that doesn’t break every 5 minutes like Windows. Aside from the occasional printer weirdness, I really haven’t had to do much. Linux just works.
