"Even my old mom has used it for over 15 years."

ok now that might be harder to do with someone who doesnt have a linux expert on speeddial. And i dont want to be that linux expert for my family and friends (sorry, not sorry).

When win7 lost support, i tried linux on the desktop yet again as i have since 1997. mint in this case. It has the same problems of needing updates, where people force in "design changes" a long with security changes. It has a lifecycle, and you will be told to upgrade to a newer release at some point. During those upgrades, things may go wrong, same as windows. Except i can tell my parents to call any independent computer store and have them deal with it. Not have to call in the elusive linux expert at hundreds of dollars an hour. they can use general forums and self solve, not have to deal with niche forums, and snarky attitudes from linux tryhards.

for me personally, i could have stuck with mint. i had to leave it due to bugs in games, and the lag of proton support to address those bugs. But having some small issue and being pretty much on your own to solve it does grate at the nerves. I just want my computer to work when i get home. I fix computers all day... and in the corporate world, its all windows. Because windows experts are easier to hire (plentiful) and cheaper to pay. The same applies to home support, resources on the internet to solve things, etc.

Why didnâ(TM)t the âoetechâ setup automated backups? That shouldâ(TM)ve been #1 on the agenda after services were restored. And wouldâ(TM)ve been an easy sell at the time. So did they âoenever learnâ, or did the geniuses they hired to fix their shit not give a shit about best practices and were happy to do the bare minimum and leave their hapless clients to their own devices? Frankly, I am fucking done with the tech industry. Fucking jackholes, sociopaths and scumbags from top to bottom. The fact that itâ(TM)s the mid 2020s and our security standards as a whole are just as abysmal as they were in the 80s, perhaps worse But at least our top tech visionaries have shifted from âoemaking everyoneâ(TM)s lives betterâ to âoefuck you, you filthy animals, weâ(TM)re going to take away everyoneâ(TM)s jobs then subjugate you all under autocracy and slaveryâ So yeah. Everything had gone to shit and I concede the MAGAts might be right. Burning everything to the ground might in fact be the only thing Americans are capable of doing at this point.

They cannot possibly unload them as people would notice immediately i believe. In that situation, it is far better to have two accounts, or 10 or 100. each with an amount in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. just convert pieces of that when you need some cash.

So he had the first coins. Saw the price going up and purchased a few thousand over different wallets while they were still 19 cents or whatever. Just spends those off one account at a time. Never needs to touch the main account because no one can spend billions of dollars with no accountability of where that money came from.

And practically, no one actually needs billions of dollars. a few million tax free over 10 years would be plenty for almost everyone.
