    Dear dad: The device for our family member will run nothing but a very bare Linux system and a browser. I don't care what you say, this will literally run fluidly on a Pentium, stop trying to talk me into agreeing with your "It's better to buy a good and expensive laptop" idea.

      @omni Why did I say "fluidly" there? That doesn't make any sense, @omni, it's not going to throw water over the laptop.

      @omni Well, what kind of person is it for? What your dad's saying might have some logic behind it, even if it's not exactly "correct".

        @redenchilada It's for someone who hasn't touched a PC ever since Windows 95 got released.

          @omni And you're certain they'll be doing nothing but browsing the web? :v

            @redenchilada I first started off with setting up GNOME3 in a way which was even more simple than the default GNOME3, but my dad stated that this was "way too difficult" and that he would "only browse the web a bit", so yeah. And even in the case he wants to do more, I will switch him over to a desktop environment in a minute or two.
