Is Linux fighting back?

[Mauser]

Linux "fighting back" - fugggedaboutit! The young'ns don't give a crap because it's not a cellphone (irony alert for Android/iPhone users!), and greybeards are dying off, literally. I'll just maintain peace of mind knowing that I don't need to be tied to the yoke of Windows in my golden years.

Golden years? I don't why it's called the golden years when it's "The Painful Years" for me.

I'll be 82 in a few weeks and I can see where you are coming from the 'phone' references as they cannot even eat lunch without looking at their phones.
Linux will be around long ater I am gone and get even better as windows gets worse.

Some of us - very few, I'm sorry to say - resist the urge to let technology run our lives. It's my parents who scroll through Fakebook and Tiktok at the dinner table. Mom at least has a computer (Windows) which she uses for some work stuff - and Fakebook and Tiktok. One of her hand-me-down machines is what I use, restored with Linux and more recently with a BSD I'm experimenting with. But my situation is the exception to the rule I think. Most 'nixers don't want anything to do with kids, judging us all by the kids who act like my mom - scrolling constantly on her phone and oblivious to everything else.

You misquoted me. You moved the quote I was answering to that didn't get posted correctly due to a forum error. I only wrote after "[/quote]" I only wrote "Golden years? I don't why it's called the golden years when it's "The Painful Years" for me. "
