1) neither black nor white are colours, they are shades.
2) nothing, but the towel gets wet, and then dries, gets wet again, dries again, and after so many reptations it will smell weird. also, if your bath and toilet are in the same room, flushing the toilet sends particles into the air, which would be absorbed into the towel over time.
3) it is entirely dependent on the nurse’s track record. if she has a high number of patient fatalities, no; if not, yes.

no shitdip, im emphasising how cheap shit can run linux. your “ohhh computer has to cost ten bajillion dollars to work good onlinux !1!1!!1” argument is dumb as fuck.

LOL those are all like $2k
I’m typing this message from a 16-year-old ThinkPad T410 running Linux flawlessly. cost 60CAD. any ThinkPad will run Linux like a dream, and the newer ones are like, $200-600 second-hand, depending on how fancy you want it to be.

that still pertains to usercase. if a user has a thinkpad the whole shebang is gonna work ootb. if you cant research ‘is my laptop compatible with [os]’, stick to iphones.

i think it heavily depends on the person’s use case. if someone is doing web browsing and maybe making a couple word documents, the learning curve is negligible. also, you dont need to use BASH to do most things, it’s 2026. most anything you can think of, you can do via GUI.

also- you can definitely make and send documents with linux, no problem. more popular distros (ubuntu, mint, fedora (which i recommend, but im biased)) are as intuitive and point-and-click for surface level use as Windows is, and most come pre-installed with an office suite.

your level of technical knowledge is so far beyond the average person’s that it’s insane. the idea of ‘my computer has a problem, i’m going to google what the popup says’ simply does not occur to so, so many people.

I’ve been a ThinkPad user for about 4 years now, got a second-hand T470s running Fedora. It’s been an amazing experience! I’m not one for brand loyalty, but (so long as Lenovo doesn’t fuck them up) ThinkPads will always be my first choice for a laptop.
