Facebook jail for posting pics of paper targets.

This morning I converted an upgraded HP All In One PC that we have in the spare room to Linux Tricia.
This is a PC that Betty Lou typically uses when she is not on her laptop. This was the last Windows PC we had and Windows was giving her fits so she stopped using it.
She came in the room and saw what I was doing and, in no uncertain terms, informed me that Facebook will be used on it.
BUZZKILL !!
I give it a month before I'm wiping and reinstalling again.

Avator,

I'm with you on FB and Windows. One laptop with dual Win10 (for Chaigun only) and Linux Bodhi and one laptop Bodhi only. I tried a dozen Linux flavors.

My wife poo pooed FB for years now she got sucked into it. We can talk here about whether we had socks on during dinner.


Anti-Squirrel,

You are correct sir! When out on probation he should post a BUNCH of links to Olympic shooting!!!! I wouldn't force myself to sink low enough to actually 'talk' to a FB Nazi admin.

Betty Lou uses it to keep in touch with our scattered families. I let her share with me where they are concerned.... anything else and I shut her down. Need to know info that I don't need to know.
But then again.... she watches soap operas.

I put FB in jail awhile ago.

No sooner did I get the HP All In One loaded up with Linux and the printer connected, Betty Lou took over and, yep, FaceBook games....

Four words:

       I 
      DON'T
         DO
  FACEBOOK

That's actually five words. Just sayin' 

[avator]

LOL.... I bet he's just thinking of two words right now.

How did you guess?

The boys are into social media, which is fine.  Sonja killed her account a while back for FB.  She was never on anything else except LinkedIn.

Oddly enough, we found we have 2 connections- one is a gal who used to groom my old dogs (Pixie included) is now marrying Sonja's sister's husband's son (from a prior marriage).  The second is the husband more than likely played in jam bands on the Eastern Shore a couple decades ago with my uncle.  Just kinda proves ya don't need FB or social media; you just gotta pay attention when family talks.


Bill- curious how Linux Tricia is.  I've recently upgraded a couple laptops (hardware upgrades) and the performance was vastly improved, so my itch to tinker with computers was rekindled.  I'm thinking about slapping Linux Mint or Puppy Linux on this machine but I wouldn't mind trying a flavor of Linux I haven't run with.

Tricia is of the Mint Cinnamon family.... Very user friendly.

The newest release is Mint 20 "Ulyana".

The 3rd option down is the one I would use if I were to upgrade again.

Cool, Bill.  I'll slap it on one of the spares and give it a whirl.
