I’ve been eyeing Graphene for a while now but I’m not really a tech person. I fumbled my way through installing and doing basic tweaks on Linux Mint but I don’t know the first thing about coding or programming. Is that kind of knowledge a must for this OS or is it more dummy friendly? And what’s a good cheap phone to grab to start messing with it and getting familiar, do you have any recommendations on that front?

Turns out I can unmute my phone when I realize it’s a person I want to talk to. It’s just crazy how tech has improved over the years

I answer unknown calls and then immediately mute my mic. Most of the time it’s a bot that might call back once more, occasionally it’s somebody that gets an explanation of why i just made things weird. been doung that for years and now I only get spam calls maybe once or twice a month tops, if even that much

I installed Mint this past spring and fiddled around with it briefly every once in a while but I’m not a tech guy so there was a little bit of a learning curve on stuff like getting a second monitor to work, stuff like that. I’m sure you’ve already found out that there’s TONS of documentation and forums for questions, it’s just a matter of feeling kinda dumb for a little while as you troubleshoot. I switched over to Mint full time a few months ago and haven’t looked back. I’ve still got Win10 on an extra hard drive just in case but I think more and more of reclaiming that space for Steam now, I don’t miss Windows at all

I upgraded mine but haven’t talked to the wife about including her yet because the family plan is for up to 6 so it’d be cheaper to just buy two individual subscriptions, she doesn’t really care enough to justify that much extra cost. Hopefully Proton adds another plan or two for groups!
