like how tf am I supposed to know. No, he doesn’t even show me the computer on so I can check task manager or anything. Forgot the charger in another state. He just wants to know why his, currently dead, computer runs slow.
It could literally be anything causing this. Too much stuff running in the background, maybe one task is super intense, overheating, storage is full, idfk. I hate being known as the tech person.


Bit of a jump in technical requirements there!
Imo Linux is one of those things where you just have to jump in. If you’re just dipping your toes in, you’ll never be familiar enough with it to feel comfortable, and you’ll forget everything you learn between attempts. I switched to Linux in high school, and it was much less user friendly then. It doesn’t take a degree, it just takes time. Nowadays I can’t really use windows machines at all because they have changed so much since 7.
