—”Now why would you do something like that?”

The SSD on my wife’s laptop started spitting errors about a month out of warranty and the Win backups were on the same SSD...

I replaced the SSD and installed Ubuntu, a faster and easier install.
Our daughter, a network tech, stopped by and said, ‘MOM WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO RUN LINUX!’...

My wife looked it over and ask for a few minor changes, location of the clock...

SANE the scanner driver was driving me insane, but I was used to it because the WINDOWS driver for her Epson scanner was also a problem after one lengthy MS update.

Yes, a few formatting issues going from WORD to Libre Office...Better with each update...

And finding a solitaire game to her liking, she settled on Pasjans.

I have installed it on over a dozen friends and neighbors’ computers...

No matter how they or their grandkids screwed up the OS, I can usually replace it in the time it takes to have a nice cup of coffee.
Windows problems for me are like jumping down the rabbit hole with Alice. No, I will not give them the name of my firstborn son... or my email password!

Try PySOLFC as well. I really like it. I have not heard of Pasjans. I'll look it up.
