1/3 of my day helping mom in the kitchen - glad to do that.
1/3 of my day helping dad with his laptop - this was fuckin annoying because there wasn't a damn thing wrong with his computer to start with.
Yesterday he wants to distro hop because Linux Mint doesn't have a ProtonMail app (Why this is suddenly an issue after using Mint for a month is beyond me).
He decides on Fedora 43 Workstation. Easy enough to do except neither of us can enable the third party repos.
Next, he tries Fedora Everything (I never heard of this one). Dad found it too complicated.
This morning he is back on Mint and using a browser to access Protonmail. But now the laptop will not charge. This takes most of the morning and afternoon for him to solve. By this point I really couldn't care less.
