The indoctrination of windows is extreme. Windows is just as hard as linux, harder even with all the layers of obscurity.

And yet… linux is hard, and users decry RTFM as “not growing the userbase”

    She doesn’t install apps, Her config is what she needs. But nixOS install is pretty simple if you can copy paste text.

    You go here https://search.nixos.org/packages

    Search for a package, and click if you want permanent or ephemeral app and paste the code into the shell or into your config file.

    Run a rebuild

    Pretty easy

      Yeah, I’m used to NixOS — however, having to edit the config (instead of e.g. a package manager) is a common pain point I see when others use NixOS, and it often leads to them switching distros.

        Yeah, I find it simple, but I’m used to text edits driving batch files etc. Daily driver I use Tumbleweed, the Yast zypper GUI gives you select and apply for pqckages, no command line needed.
