1. Go to TVFool to get a very reliable prediction of the TV reception probabilities for your mother's exact location: http://www.tvfool.com/
2. Don't buy junk, build her the very best TV antenna on earth: https://hardware.slashdot.org/... (we did all the testing for you so you don't have to)
I miss HeathKit too! RS once had the Archer line of TV antennae that was co-manufactured with AntennaCraft. All of that is gone now in place of Chinese crap. Build a Gray-Hoverman.
The excellent ChannelMaster antennae of the 1980s have been gone for awhile. ChannelMaster outsourced all their R&D and manufacturing to China years ago, with the result that the original CM4228 and CM4221 UHF bowtie reflector models were replaced with lesser, different models with almost identical names. Don't be fooled. Build a Gray-Hoverman instead.
In case you missed it years ago, the very best TV antenna in the world is the free (as in free) Gray-Hoverman:

Select plans that have been refactored for today's UHF 14-51 bandwidth and you'll be glad you built one.
The attached article is clearly marked as being from July 15. No sooner, no later. Your 4 points are overwrought, and thus not worthy of the upvotes they received. Stick to facts.
Over the years, Gartner and IDC have been shown to be widely, wildly wrong about many things. Don't touch their data assessments with a 3 meter pole. Groklaw, Tomi T. Ahonen, and many others have shown those two outfits and others like Forrester to be useless for anything other than clickbait headlines.
No reason to see any systemd complaints here about Debian when Devuan is your answer. For sysadmins, if you know your way around Debian, you already know your way around Devuan. Time to put the Debian systemd griping to bed once and for all when the solution is so obvious.
