Comment on Despite tech-savvy reputation, Gen Z falls behind in keyboard typing skills
yoshisaur@lemm.ee 1 week agolinux can be used through mostly GUI now so i partly agree with you, but installing linux can be quite a hard task for those who aren’t tech savvy. i’m pretty sure being able to do the following can be considered tech savvy:
- change boot settings
- flash an ISO to a USB drive
- shrink windows partition into a new one for linux
- boot from USB
- actually install linux
- get used to linux

Can you not order Ubuntu on a DVD anymore? Also you’re explaining dual boot. You can just single boot linux

i’m not sure. most people at my school use a laptop at their main computer, so they couldn’t use an ubuntu DVD anyways. i personally prefer dual boot over single boot

… did everyone remove the media drive off laptops? There are also external media drives.

New laptops don’t have optical drives. I don’t think there’s a single manufacturer that still has them.
Hell, most new computer cases (much to my chagrin) don’t even have 5 1/4" bays.

I think it has been probably more than 5 years since I have seen an optical drive on a new laptop.
