The latest...

Am gonna remote-into dad's win10 pooter Mon arvo, & create two VMs in it:

• a #Fedora #KDE #Linux one, to test his printer & scanner compatibility
• a win11 one 😮, so we can both begin to get a first-hand feel for what it's like

If Test1 fails, i will have to finally accept that dad's never gonna become another #Penguinista, coz ongoing use of his printer & scanner is absolutely non-negotiable; he uses these HEAPS of the time every week, & whilst i don't care about printing & scanning at all, to dad these are absolute showstopper issues. I feel a sense of gathering gloom... 😨

The corollary ofc is that if Test1 fails, the only remaining option is to proceed with accepting win10's persistent nagging finally, & do the upgrade to win11, with all the horrors that entails. 😱

I feel dirty already, sigh.

I've shown them to dad, & asked him to play around with them over the weekend to familiarise himself with them, & hopefully satisfy himself that they will suffice

An hour ago i rang him for a quick update. He's continued to diligently work away each day in the KFedora VM, practising with OnlyOffice, Spectacle [for screenshots then manipulations], & his printer + scanner. He still sounds cautiously pleased & hopeful that this penguin caper could be a goer to replace his dying win10.

I am thus cautiously inclined to prospectively indulge in a wee 🎉 🥳 👯‍♀️

🤞 🤞 🤞
