    IDK, some asshole recommended one of my elderly family members a chromebook, he can’t adapt to it, and lost the admin password. Windows 10 shoves shovelware and random updates on his computer confusing him anyway, do you really think LMDE is going to be that much harder to understand than having to explain to him where the fuck avast antivirus came from?

      ChromeOS 🤮

      I couldn’t figure it out either. It manages to break so many conventions, and not in a good way. “Installing” an app might mean something close to a traditional install (but only it knows where things are installed to). Or it could mean creating a web shortcut… Also, where the fuck are my files? Where is anything?? Is it even on my machine?! Words are supposed to have meaning! What the fuck, google??
