Where did Gen X go?
I am happy to pretend not to know anything so as not have to fix everyone's computer.
Even to the point that when someone is expected to fact check at a dinner table - I look at the young'ns as if I am hopeless so that they can do the lookup.
There are nerds in every generation.
Deletes entire hardrive.
Installs arch Linux.
"OK it's fixed, gotta go, see ya!"
I wish!
Not in my household.
I'm GenX, I bought my first PC in 1988, and made a living in part, setting up LANs, back when knowing anything at all about computers could get you a job. GenX early adopters taught millennials computers.
Gen X, Millennials, Gen Z, etc. are marketing bullshit that need to stop being used in the common lexicon.

This is an older story, but I installed Xubuntu on an ssd in my boomer parents Vista era computer to keep it running. They really didnt know the difference, my mom only played solitaire while Thunderbird was managable for my dad. My millenial neice and nephews had no idea either, I'd find exe files they would download, but noone ever said anything about why they didnt work anymore. They have no idea about how computers work.
I'm not very technical, but I had to move a jumper on my old 386 when I upgraded my modem.

I spent 25 years without remembering that, you sonuvabitch! :-D. Sorry, the PTSD takes over sometimes. Goddamned supra winmodems and hot-glued ISA cards in overpriced junk RadioShack/FutureShop computers....

Chromebooks and iPads as the primary devices in schools have hurt the kids in my opinion. Too locked down to allow for exploration.
