Yeah, I find it simple, but I’m used to text edits driving batch files etc. Daily driver I use Tumbleweed, the Yast zypper GUI gives you select and apply for pqckages, no command line needed.

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…
Me neither. We were taught cogs were those janky gears for certain tasks, while a true gear had geometry for smooth engagment
There might be a paid way. At work we have our phone numbers tied into zoom which ties into calling other phone numbers. It is used as a backend switchboard. So you could have a zoom number as your signal number which routes to your landline. Maybe.
Ha. My young coworker said “wow you really know this software in depth, how long have you used it?” me: meh 26 years. He was like “dude that is longer than I have been alive”
Cogs are typically square tooth, gears have involute teeth.
Yes, files, and hamburger menu at top right, new folder
Gnome had right click --> new folder, but only if you can select the white space, or you can right click the small empty square in the upper right below the top but above the scroll bar.
So our IT guy sent a training memo for a task. Step 1, 2, 3, etc. The one step was go to folder /User, then go to folder yourusername. A young guy emailed back " there is no folder called yourusername".
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
Just setup wireguard on your server, add masquerading and ip forwarding. That single wireguard in, will give you full access to your lan
Same, I’m on OpenSUSE, nVidia hosts its own OpenSUSE repo. As far back as 8 years(for me) you add the repo and add the driver. Everything works.
