I agree with a lot of what you say, but when you are handicapped (by lack of knowledge), it's ok to ask for a crutch. Maybe you only need it temporarily, but it's a massive help while you need it.
I've tried switching to Linux several times, but there seems to be a lot of gatekeepers who just say (essentially), "you're doing it wrong!".
I just want my computer to do what I want, without needing to use up hours trying to figure out some quasi-coding terminal command. Maybe I'm not the intended user, or something.
Smart. Keep it "top two" so he doesn't get complacent.
Why not? If a user wants to use their computer in that way, why should they not be allowed to?
There's the very real possibility he could simply drop dead of natural causes long before he's ever in real danger of seeing the inside of a prison cell.
