sub, computer rant

Reading about Windows installation on fedi reminds me of something I went through recently -

We were donating a laptop to a child to help them finish school. I was helping with tasks like cleaning out old data.

I wanted to install linux because I had expected Microsoft account to be a hassle. I did not in the end. The child was fighting homelessness and struggling to keep up. I did not want to make it harder.
