    I don’t think tagging GNU in front of Linux is dumb, people wouldn’t care to figure out who they are and what its about if they didn’t do that. You have to give credit to both of them. I still would want GNU there, even if I don’t say it most of the time. I call it Linux mostly but sometimes I call it GNU plus Linux just to be accurate.


  • Honestly, if y’all would help your friend out with Linux they might be interested. If you just write down a note for them with the most basic commands for Debian, they would be okay.

    DE: Use GNOME

    Partiton layout: Use default /home for everything, don’t make seperate partitions for /root, /var, etc.

    Add their user(s) to the sudoers file

    CTRL+ALT+T to open the command line

    Basic commands:

    sudo apt-get update

    sudo apt-get upgrade

    Install Flatpak, and bookmark Flathub in their browser. That should be good enough and honestly anyone could figure this out.
