but is too stupidly arrogant to realize the tech really isn’t there yet.

Just use AI lol

I laugh, but that'll probably come next ...

So, question: the colors.... how I do that?

You probably had a head full of thoughts, but just can't recall the thoughts lol

I think an easy "donate" button on Firefox that just easily took users to the donation page would be nice and easy. It's why I donate to wiki during their fund runs: it's right there, reminding me, and easy to do. Now, if they make it obnoxious, it'd just push donations away. It's a fine line.

I meant to download from the official Microsoft site.

Kudos on getting your mum on Linux! I was unable to keep mine on it : /

Maybe I'm missing something, but this is from the "Download Windows 11 Disk Image (ISO) for x64 devices" section from the official Microsoft site, but I don't see any option to buy or mention of it:

Before you begin downloading an ISO Make sure you have:

  • An internet connection (internet service provider fees may apply).
  • Sufficient data storage available on the computer, USB, or external drive you are downloading the .iso file to.
  • A blank DVD disc with at least 8GB (and DVD burner) to create a bootable disc. We recommend using a blank USB or blank DVD, because any content on it will be deleted during installation.
  • If you receive a “disc image file is too large” message while attempting to burn a DVD bootable disc from an ISO file, consider using a higher capacity Dual Layer DVD.

To pta, yes. To Lemmy, no.

Download the iso and install home. It won't stop you, ask for a key, or attempt to activate later. It just installs, runs, and spies happily.

But, yes, I suppose that you're supposed to pay for it, but they don't seem to care that much, if at all.

I agree that Windows Pro is a slightly better experience than Windows Home, but the right Linux distro for you is where it's at. I usually recommend Mint for newcomers, and not one has had issues (beyond the expected "this looks different" comments). I've installed Elementary for one person who came from a life of Mac, and she dove right in with almost no hiccups. Know your audience, I guess is the lesson here lol
