@broniebrown It's not too late. Put in pclinuxos, she'll never see the difference.

@lilytheamazingfaintingpony @scribus For some reason the pc still has some kernel panics, especially when I had to install a lot of updates. The last update caused that the pc was unbootable. The rest of the family complained that they can't use the pc because of linux. E.g. there is no photoshop and the scanner software is different and WINE takes forever to start spider solitaire. So that's the story of the stubborn pc I have to maintain.

@broniebrown which distro did you install? If it was ubuntu, don't you know the golden rule? The golden rule of Ubuntu is: Don't ever update it, stick with a clean install for six months then install the new version.

@lilytheamazingfaintingpony The funny thing is that it was debian stable.

@broniebrown Don't say that, I was going to switch to Debian stable this weekend. :(

@lilytheamazingfaintingpony I think the computer crashed once during an update and damaged some viable files. I don't know. But the PC made always problems. I use 3 other PCs with debian and I never had such problems.

@broniebrown Your family are...non-technical people? (Faints)

@lilytheamazingfaintingpony Eyup! My father used to fix all the problems when I was young but I'm now the computer administrator for my family and it sucks.
