She doesn’t install apps, Her config is what she needs. But nixOS install is pretty simple if you can copy paste text.
You go here https://search.nixos.org/packages
Search for a package, and click if you want permanent or ephemeral app and paste the code into the shell or into your config file.
Run a rebuild
Pretty easy
My wife is on NixOS, because she wanted a system that would be exactly the same if it died. She doesn’t know Linux from Mac or Windows; She doesn’t care about privacy or where apps come from, only that it operates the exact same everyday. (And Windows could not satisfy this requirement)
Yeah, TinyCore Linux needs 16GB I think. 8GB you might run BusyBox or something
Amazon sells 24 GB ones…

I explained to IT, some of these people have never navigated a folder structure and don’t realize Yourfoldername is meant to be replaced with their own name.
Depends how far you want to keep going back…English talking about Russia and Ukraine like they don’t still occupy most of Wales
Deja DUP has auto validation also. But besides “backup” I think everyone suggests using ZFS that auto heals bit rot. And don’t trust unplugged SSDs, they can suffer bit rot quickly if stored in a hot location
Opensuse has full disk encryption. https://news.opensuse.org/2025/02/20/setup-fde-on-opensuse/
You can use any open port and port forward at the router, or is CG NAT only 80

Recycled plastic gets used more when the price of oil goes up as these commodities are closely tied. Some places like automotive manufacturers only take auto grade plastics and those recycled materials can be in short supply so their is often demand for it.
