  • For me it’s mostly the opposite. I really like my things digital, not physical. I already live in the 4th country in my life. I can’t move any physical things with me, but if it’s digital it needs almost no space. I printed photos as photo books because I thought it’s much easier to access. Now all of them are still in Sweden and my friend who has my stuff in her attic is asking me to get my stuff because she is moving and doesn’t want to deal with my stuff. But because I’m in South Korea, I can’t get them. It’s way to expensive to move it. But I don’t want to throw them away, but probably will need to.

    I have all those pictures in digital form and do access them far more often than I’d think. I wrote scripts which show random old pictures on the TV and post a “today X years ago” picture to different family chats.





  • I did what the parent waz talking about to 3 children and 2 Seniors and one middle aged guy.

    One child complained that he couldn’t install windows games his peers were playing but other than that no complains.

    I installed Ubuntu on older laptops, made sure everything works. Turned on auto updates and installed VNC server software if help would be necessary.

    I also have one person with windows I help remotely.

    The only difference for me is that the windows user somehow constantly has some bullshit extensions or something which change the browser behavior.

    Practically the only thing those people use is a browser.

    Oh and nobody has a discrete graphics card which would require a driver. Each of those laptops worked fine from scratch, no hardware problems.
