My mom's laptop self "upgraded" to win 11 a while back and she hates it and has been having issues nonstop. And since she refuses to pay a monthly subscription for office I set her up with Libre office. She's been resistant to Linux but as I slowly add more FOSS apps she's coming around. She's now willing to try a Linux Mint live USB.
I'm going to be on the lookout for one of these perfectly good laptops and throw Mint on it for her so she can keep her windows laptop until she's ready to fully make the switch.
I have a playlist on Tidal of metal songs that help me focus called "Work". When it hits the fan at work and I have to really focus i put it on and let it play song after song until one really clicks and then I hit repeat and will listen to that song over and over.
Yep, I ran Mint on a system 76 laptop for 8 years. Just retired it because the hardware is starting to give out, the OS is still running strong.

Nice username, lol.

Agreed, I wasn't even looking for the Win 7 experience, I was just still getting the hang of Linux and Mint was repeatedly recommended everywhere I looked. At this point I'm just comfortable with Mint and so I stick with it, and since I value reliability of cutting edge, it gives me what I need in a computer.
And this is why I invested in a pocket notebook and travel pen. I also keep a legal pad just for random thoughts at my desk.
Yep, in fact he gave up a spot as a regular to take the role of Data. They were going to have him take over the concession stand in the cafeteria.
It was a decent one time watch, but not great.
Coming up on 10 years since I switched from windows to Linux. I tried Ubuntu and absolutely hated it, so much so that I switched back to windows at first. But I kept reading and tried ZorinOS, and that got me comfortable with Linux, it was a little buggy but I could understand it.
After a few months with ZorinOS I switched to Linux Mint and have been running Mint for 9 years. Recently my 76 year old mother who has trouble with some basic computer stuff said she'd like to try Linux and asked me to help her, I made a live USB of Mint for her to try and she told me "I can understand this, it's like windows 7!". If she can get Mint, I feel totally confident recommending it to new users.
When I asit for data it's generally data that would take hours to find, ready through, accept or reject, then take notes and summarize. When I tell an AI to do it, it takes a minute or two for all the data collection and summarization. Then all I have to do is click the link provided with each piece of data and verify it, which only takes a few minutes generally.
So yes, AI saves me hours of researching and summarizing even with checking the source data.
Exactly, I use AI to save time, and find data I most likely wouldn't have found myself. It's a tool, not a replacement.
I think the biggest problem is AI has been portrayed in film and TV as this all powerful computer that can do everything, and that's what everyone thinks they have now. If we compare AI to the growth of the Internet, we're still in the ARPANET phase, there's still a looong way to go.
Someone told me on my previous instance, before it shut down, that no one actually used Linux, that everyone even me was just lying about using Linux.
