So you classify yourself as an average consumer or a non-techie when it comes to computers?

[โ€“] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 1 points 8 months ago

I generally consider myself half-way between the two, leaning more towards techie than normal consumer. I use Linux, I know how a computer works and what all the hardware does. But I don't program (except for easy stuff like lua), I don't build Linux from scratch or compile source code, etc... etc... etc...

I just want a computer that works, and a computer that, if I unplug my internet, I can still log on and use my word processor, or drawing application, etc...
