I agree. My mom has been running Mint for 9 years with no problems. My tech illiterate friend who has an nvidia gpu on the other hand needs a lot of handholding. He would never be able to make a transition on his own.

I don’t know how to feel about this. Because the intelligent guy is totally me, but I also recognise that Linux is in no shape for a non tech literate person just to jump into.

Nah, you can just sudo umount /path/to/device and then remove it. No need to power off the pi.

So Zelda, Elda, Lda, Da and A?
