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.
