Thank You very much for that offer. However i have already done all that and it just sits unused, or she will change a config and not remember what or where it was. So that is why im baby stepping her to Linux, one App at a time. But she can never fully switch due to the apps she wants/needs/plays just dont work in linux.
We don't use "profiles" with firefox, too risky having personal info out there. She is well versed in computers, but just doesn't "get" Linux is all, too many options she says, easy to mess up. Which is true, i've lost my menue bar and apps several times by accident in the past. The command line is not an option for her, thats all she does at work is search records from an antiquated dos system for the county. I wouldnt want to use the CLI either, lol. How primitive i believe, havn't we advanced beyond that yet. Well those are just my thoughts.
She see's the value, security angles etc. but just is not going to invest time to learn a new OS. I get it, thats why i will support her. hmmmmmmmm, paid remote support? Looking forward to hearing others stories.
