STOP TRYING TO INSTALL COPILOT
my partner @Anvil_Lavigne@hexbear.net was last on windows 10, we finally got them a new laptop and they were so against windows 11 we installed linux and they’re taking to it so so well
like usually when i help someone install linux i am literally running tech support for 6 months
oh yeah absolutely. but it’s still a bit of a culture shock, and u can’t really avoid terminal etc
I don’t try to avoid terminal, so I wouldnt know, but, counterpoint:
If you want modern windows to work at all, you can’t really avoid fucking around in registry.

I do the same. I like to think of it more as the computer equivalent of an ML reading group. A privilege to help, not a chore to wade through.
i am up for it and i know that it’s likely to come when people switch. and i warn them as well. but particularly if it’s someone remote, i find it hard to help and they don’t always give me enough infos to help tho partner is not remote but it’s like i say “give me laptop” and they ask me to tell them how instead. they’re learning so fast and being really proactive with learning terminal and finding commands online etc i’m just proud of them
