Re: If you can't beat them; join them

I guess we share something.

I am the only knowledgeable person in this house, we have 2 laptops and 2-3 desktops, one of which is mine. I run the desktop downstairs as limited users. They tend to get viruses and adware, not knowing the difference between Yes and No (they assume everything you have to say 'Yes' to).

If they want something installed, they have to ask me, and I do the Run as or login with my admin account. If they get infected, I don't want that computer compromising mine and nor do I want to fix it. They'd be very lost without me.

I would still want the said Linux features implemented though
