If I'm missing any that would, or if I'm wrong and some of the ones I've
dismissed as non-viable actually would be viable, I would be *actively
glad* about that.
Where we are is I asked my own wife if she'd ever heard of Debian. She
said "Quoi?" three or four times before admitting she hadn't. She *has*
heard of Linux, though. Before talking about quoting styles you have to
realize most people are unaccustomed to seeking answers to their
computer problems on the Internet at all. My wife asks *me* if she has
problem she can't resolve. One time she went to a Youtube page for a
video that her friend, who teaches the American equivalent of first
grade, wanted to show to her class. Of course, she downloaded the web
page and not the video. I downloaded the latter with yt-dlp. When I told
her, "Don't you understand that..." she responded "I'm not interested in
this kind of thing like you are."
It's all pretty hopeless, IMHO. But I've learned a lot here just by
reading the posts of the old dinosaurs. So I thank you all for that.
What will happen when you finally become extinct is anybody's guess.
