But I don't want to buy an iPad. That's why I made this post.
How to grandma-proof Linux?
In short, my question is "Is there a way to prevent a non-malicious but unknowledgable and clumsy user to ruin their own home directory?"
Say my grandma opens a file browser looking for a picture, finds those dot files or those mysteriously-named directories distracting, sets her mind to deleting them. And assume she somehow finds a way to do so. While I understand that dot files or mysteriously-named directories of a non-privileged user are of no ultimate importance, it is a maintenance nightmare.
Plus, it's not only mysterious files that are prone to be targetted. She might well delete by accident the picture she was looking for.
Two kinds of solutions that come to mind are: -Restrict file permissions in an adequate way -Implement an easily operable, fool-proof, back-in-time scheme
Is there a mainstream, well-supported distro of GNU/Linux that has figured this use-case out?
I figure it might come in handy when Window 10 is no longer supported and the reports of hacks keep coming
Another question about how lemmy works
I am on lemmy.world. In the last couple of days, I've been flooded with "comicsoutofcontext" contents. Nothing wrong with that, but why?
Some other times, it will be nsfw contents. And the next day, some other random community will flood my feed. Nothing wrong with that either.
But, I don't understand how this all works. It seems that the priorization algorithm sometimes goes wild. Or maybe there are only hundreds of users actively posting and when some guy posts a batch, I'm flooded with it?
