Today at the grocery store a sweet older lady approached me and asked if I knew anything about computers. I said yes I do, and she produced a mouse saying that her son set up Linux mint for her and she was wondering if the mouse was compatible. It needed kernel version 2.6 or newer so I said that the mouse should work, guessing mint itself was probably newer than that kernel. Happy with my answer, we chatted a little, then she thanked me and left.
It was a nice experience, so I thought I should share!
Not satire. She didn’t know what a kernel was, it just said it needed 2.6+ on the packaging, I think that’s why she asked. My guess is she saw linux compatibility on one of the mice so she chose that one?
