Very nice. Why does your father think he lost his identity through his laptop?

Stupidity runs on the family.

The credit card fraud and claims department told him that it's very common to get identity theft from lack of security on the Internet. Makes enough sense to me and I just added another body to Stallman's army.

None of that will protect him from social engineering scams or data breaches which are probably how he got his identity stolen.

the fuck, he can't distinguish between linux and windows?

No wonder he had his identity stolen

>Boomer
My mother couldn't do the same. To be honest, to the average home user, the only thing that matters is the browser.

>social engineering
This, I use windows 7 x64 without updates or AV and I've never had a security problem because I don't give my info to pajeets.

He probably just doesn't understand phishing so it will happen again. It most likely has nothing to do with the OS, just boomers who can't distinguish between legit e-mails and phishing ones.

>tfw all the money hollywood could give these whores, could not stop the system administrator known as Jow Forums from phishing their iClouds.

Give him a chromebook

Ubuntu is less secure than windows

It literally comes preinstalled with Amazon adware

How is preinstalled Microsoft telemetry and adware safer?

Just install a Windows theme and old people won't know the difference.
Add Wine if you're dealing with someone slightly less retarded.

>x64
No such thing.

>Ubuntu is less secure than windows
lol not even close

People still pimp this meme?

>uBlock
You mean uBlock Origin, right?

Ublock can with specific filter lists

>mon buys cheap dell i3 laptop from Walmart
>comes with windows 10 installed, and a lot of bloatware
>mom attracts proxy viruses like crazy
>mom uses it for a couple of months until it becomes unbearably slow
>mom asks for help
>notice she only uses the web browser, reads PDF files
>install xubuntu because it's a personal favourite and works great on low specced machines, setup everything, printer, etc.
>works fucking great for a whole year, no viruses, no slowdown, nothing
>dad gets a hold of laptop, can't install his shitty company software because not windows
>gets his company IT goon to install pirated windows 7 on it with McAfee and what not
>laptop again gets a truckload of viruses somehow
>McAfee is useless, slows down the laptop even further
>mom wants it like it was previously
>dad wants me to stop messing with the laptop because "windows is the best"
>dad doesn't ever even use her laptop

mines on a thumbdrive, inside the microwave.

literally 1 click away from deleting everything.


too comfy.

>Having a zoomer dad
My dad still praises Unix and most of his things are Linux related and talks with my uncles

why not xubuntu

>HTTPS Everywhere
How handy is this and is it available for Google Chrome?

why not install a magnetron above your ssd?

Why not rube goldberg up a vat of lye beneath it?
