trying to keep my 100yr-old father computing for another year

he is using beowulf and evolution mail client version 3.30.5

attempting to switch him to daedalus and evolution 3.42.4

he hates any/all change and the newer evolution is way out there(wtf, "header-bar"?)

any thoughts?

edited for clarity.

have you had video success with any other distributions(thinking hardware-check here)?

the guide assumes you can login via serial to perform corrective action

these might provide food for thought

tl;dr- yes, anything AI / BOT / CGI / GPT / LLM etc. that isn't explicitly well-labeled as such should be aggressively banned/deleted/removed.

there will come a time when it will be virtually impossible to distinquish between Computer-Generated-ANYTHING and "the-real-thing".

even if we were able to put the genie back in the bottle, it would take millions of humans years to sift through all the false, fake, misinformed, misquoted, misrepresented "stuff" regardless of exactly the who/what/why.

perhaps we are already living in the Skynet Matrix.

food for thought from Barry Kauler, the creator of Puppy Linux:

came across this image and had to share it given the earlier Skynet Matrix reference:
