right, so you’re the one dealing with issues

so run FreeBSD, configure it with ZFS as root, then configure periodic snapshots and when she deletes something or fucks it up, you can just pull it out of a snapshot and she’ll be happy

plus updates are less gay than for Linux, and it’s “cleaner”, for want of a better term 

 I'm not ready for bsd, frankly I don't have the time to mess with drivers and gotchas and power performance and stuff like that, but thank you for the recommendation. 

 lmao, if you don’t have time to mess with drivers and gotchas and power stuff, then I have very bad news for you about Linux on a laptop 

 Since 2008 I've had very little problems with most Linux based distros on laptops
