Lucky so far, I think. It's been a rolling release, it probably hasn't hit your account yet.

In a FPTP system, that's called voting for Trump with extra steps. The fact that it fucking sucks doesn't change the fact that it's true.

They're also surprisingly easy to upgrade for their size. Swapped RAM, CPU, and hard drive in about 15 minutes total on one of mine.

You might have more success if you dial it back, average users don't need that deep of an understanding. They just need a functional system that does what they expect it to.

I've converted several family members to Linux to ease my own role as their tech support. And it was as simple as preloading things they'd need, showing them what the new browser/email/whatever looked like, showing them the new "app store" (KDE Discover), and telling them to call me if it breaks. Some of them explored further and learned how the system works, others were just happy to click the buttons I showed them. None of them regret the change.

This is most likely something that someone else gave out, not OP. Some old school "friend" signed up for some app and shared their phone contacts, app proceeds to spam those contacts hoping for more sign-ups.

And for a bit of extra clarity, they're only changing the default DE. EndeavourOS gives you several DE options during install, KDE will just be on top of the list now (and used on the live media)

Look into Caddy instead if you just need something simple for outside access. All you need is a DynDNS service (duckdns is easy), a few lines worth of Caddy config to point that address to your internal ports, port forwarding 80 & 443 to the machine running Caddy, and you're good to go. If you follow the documentation, you'll be running in 10 minutes.

They absolutely design cars with some pedestrian safety in mind. That's why hood ornaments went away and bumpers moved away from solid steel.

I don't remember the exact numbers, but they have a metric along the lines of "X% of pedestrians survive impacts up to Y speed" that they need to meet.

Arch has been daily driver for years, I'm already familiar with the process. There's an option for a guided system. The default is a terminal with no guidance.

Yup. It's a very manual install that'll let you screw it up, so it's gained that reputation. But it really isn't bad if you follow the wiki (or have done it before).

This is most of it. If they're facing up (typical lamp), they'll last for years. If they're facing down (ceiling fixture), especially with a shroud around the bulb, they won't last much longer than an incandescent. The control chip burns up if they get too hot.

So just put cheap ones in the fixtures that'll kill them. You can get decent bulbs for less than $1/per.
