Linux also doesn't have the use case of grandma/grandpa. Gunshy small brick and mortar owners, kiosks, banks, employee who doesn't have privileges (both on the system and in writing) to update...the list goes on.
Forcefully rolling out the update is the only way it may ever get updated, in a lot of cases.
- mostlysimilar 3y agoI'm not grandma. Let me choose.
- pierat 3y agoWho cares if you ARE "grandma". That assumes that old women are technologically incompetent, and a pretty shit thing to assume. My MiL (early 70's), happily runs Xubuntu on her machine. After getting the printer/scanner to work, it just fucking works. She agreed to schedule the updates in the early morning, so its just done. She wanted a password manager, and showed her how to install software. That's done now, since we've had an app store longer than Apple. The only thing she couldnt figure out was how to open an Access database made in 2003. That took me some time to figure out. Finally did and got them exported to LibreOffice spreadsheets.
