So, I started to volunteer in our local community centre to help (mostly) elder people with their computer and smartphone problems.
It's fascinating. We have people there up to their 90s and they are all every open for change.
We remove ad ID's from phones, change default browsers, switch from MS Office to #Libreoffice.
And for next time I already have a date with an elder lady to switch her old Windows 10 laptop to Linux Mint.
And she is not the only one!
What a time to be alive.
@sturmsucht - for better or worse, its the older generation who created the technology the younger crowd take for granted.
You're welcome.
They may not know how certain products work or are installed now, but they're keenly aware of what it means to have it.
@sturmsucht Great work. As an older person myself I have turned to IT as a means of keeping the brain active. Dumping MS and migration to #Ubuntu on my laptop has felt quite liberating. As has ordering a @jolla phone. I don't have the patience to do what you do though!
@sturmsucht I switched my grandparents to LibreOffice in maybe 2010? My grandfather wrote his attempt at a memoir as a .odt file. I cherish it
everyone thinks Chris is doing a great thing
but we all know he's after some of Grandma's cooking, some free food, and to steal recipes!
🤭
just kidding
Chris: you're awesome
@sturmsucht this is great! I'd love to do something like this but just moved from the US to the UK and don't really know how to even look for this kind of thing
(it's so funny how moving to another country makes you realize how much system knowledge you just take for granted.... Like, I have to relearn where to go to buy/find/do specific things that before didn't even require thought - I just knew 😂)
@sturmsucht This is exactly the kind of thing I'm hoping to get involved in, I'm doing research right now on Zorin OS (tip of the iceberg) in order to help folks accomplish the same goal.
@sturmsucht Well done Chris 
That's my experience too, those with the least technical skill are the most open to change (nothing to lose I guess...)
Good luck with your mint install! #endof10
Wow! You rock 🤘
@sturmsucht Bravissimo Chris! Loving everything about this ❤️
@sturmsucht This is great 👏👏
