Why is Linux so frustrating for some people?

    I put Linux Mint on my grandmothers old computer because the hardware was preventing it from upgrading from Windows 7 without massive slowdown. Back when she was using windows (albeit windows 7) she would call me every week with a new issue. Since installing mint she very rarely has issues and whatever issues she does run into can usually be solved very easily over the phone. I would say that Linux is what you make it. If you want to copy and paste commands from sketchy guides, things are going to break. But if you just use it like my grandmother does, browsing the web and writing emails, nothing can really go wrong

    Assuming 5 means that I would always have money in my pocket. I would combine 1 and 5 and just be a drifter around the world

  • What's the point of buying new phones every years?

    I'm asking myself the same thing. I grabbed myself the the cheapest phone available at my local electronics store after I dropped my old one in the river 2-3 years ago. I think I payed around 160€ or something and I see no reason to get something new

    Honestly, my current car. It's a tiny old rusty beat up car from 1990 that I got for around 650€ 3 years ago. It uses around 5L/100km and in total I've only spent around 200€ in parts for it and it just keeps going. It's old enough so that I only have to do inspection every 2 years (instead of every year on newer cars), don't have to pay road tax, and insurance is around 11€/month. It gets me where I need to go and is dirt cheap to own. Definitely a money saver for me.

    I just use qBittorrents built in categories/subcategory system to sort movies, tvshows. Then Kodi is set up to automaticly scan for new content on startup. Works well, simple.

  • What streaming services do you pay for?

    None! My internet connection is slow so streaming is just not an option. Downloading content beforehand is the only way for me to watch anything over 480p without buffering.
