The best one I’ve ever heard is they like the Microsoft wallpapers. Yes i told them you can use them on linux too. But they argued with me that they wouldn’t be compatible.

    On the other hand, there are people wasting our time (relatives) and have no data in the machine which is a glorified browser.

    For them I installed Linux mint, left a 200x200 Firefox icon on the desktop (which they already used) and called it a day.

    If they accidentally hit the mute button on the YouTube page, that was going to happen regardless and I’ll get to it when I get to it next time I visit (if I have time). It’s kind of amazing how they can resolve it themselves when you don’t solve the issue for them quickly.

    Edit: my point was: their desire doe no change does not come before my desire to have an up to date secure OS for them to use (even of it’s just YT browsing)
