He knows how to browse the web, which is quite literally the only thing he will ever be doing with this machine
He didn’t know how to use windows, which is what was on it before, so I don’t really see the issue on putting on a different operating system that actually works for him. Especially considering that this new operating system is modern, safe, and secure, and contains all of, the most contemporary security features.
He doesn’t need to know how to use all of the intricacies of the operating system. He just needs a functional, basic, web-ready workstation, and that’s what he has now.
He apologized profusely for putting me out so much for all the work I put into it. I just told him: some guys like to work on old cars as a hobby to unwind. And some people like to work on old computers.
The benefit is that, with old computers, I can take your old computer into my garage, fix it up, and then hand it back to you without feeling any obligation about doing it for free. It’s not a fucking car.
Does he know how to use Linux?

I set up a linux laptop for my three year old. He plays Putt-Putt, Commander Keen, and Wolfenstein 3D. You’re never too old to get into computing!
You’re never too Young to learn to fucking kill Nazis
