I can live with that.

No MUDs? That’s what I used telnet for.

What web? Gopher and FTP.

Unacceptable. I want to be able to telnet.

Landlines, you mean? I sometimes forget they still exist.

I did recommend Mint (although I use EndeavourOS myself), but he’s not interested anymore.

It probably didn’t help that I recently recommended him to buy Nvidia rather than AMD for a recent upgrade, because Nvidia had lower power requirements, and I don’t his his PSU would have been able to handle the comparable AMD.

My son also picked Bazzite, which I hadn’t heard of before. Unfortunately he didn’t like it and it back to Windows again.
