Literally spend $50 to get him a refurbished optiplex running 8 or 10

im not american, we dont have that freedom

>connecting windows xp to the internet

i'll take bad ideas for $50 alex

2gb is enough to run windows 10

really? its like DDR2

he had like no programs installed, everything was slow af, dont think the motherboard has support for SATAs

hdd is probably dead

so at this point raspberry is better device

hue hue hue

isnt there a pirated windows xp that was improved and worked well online?

gonna convince him to buy a new pc anyways

no

@Phatique yeah its calles linux

I dont think a boomer is every gonna manage to use linux, also he loves his windows live mail and refuses to use any other mail client

Drop him

boomers be boomers

Like for real find tallest cliff and drop him

"Linux is good for old people" is such a fucking meme

yeah "its so easy to use linux, to install this program all you need to do is just open up terminal and type in sudo apt get fuckmyass.avi and then to have permission to use it you need to do this x terminal command and then y and then z"

^ literally every code monkey linux user who has no idea what user friendliness is

--description of arch linux 2019

And if you can't do that, you should LITERALLY just not use a computer @Phatique

mmm how closely kmail resembles live mail GUI wise

hell i dont even remember how the kmail looks

yeah dont you just love to have to type in some terminal commands you need to google because it dosent work when you install the program

pressing on .exe files and following a wizard is easier for 99% of people, however linux users dont get it

thankfully most of mainstream distros have aged beyond those times

sure its still somehow easier and simple to install sofware from commandline than from GUI

but giving GUI to person who still uses XP and livemail is more favorable option than power of commandline

99% of people disagree, only your /gents/ prefer cmd/terminal

i mean if i know what im searcing terminal + command is simply faster than opening bloat what is called debians installer thing :D

faster dosent mean easier

sure stuff like native KDE discover on plasma desktop and even appcenter are way nicer these days

than what ever drugs debian devs had when they spinned that horrible package manager up

ask normal pc user how to install a program, they will not think opening up a terminal and typing in commands

they will not even know the basic commands

if my computer illiterate mom can do it after receiving single text message

anyone can

:D

but indeed i knew what system it was and copy pasting text from phone screen to command line is way easier
