I usually see the reverse. People who work with computers making every effort NOT to need to help.
My favorite is a friend who does techsupport for a datacenter. He always asks “wait, this computer you’re having trouble with, can you lift it? Would you say it’s smaller than your fridge? Oh, sorry, then I can’t help you”
My friend doesn’t know his linux password, and can’t download anything without it. But he is too impatient to figure out how to reset it. While I am stubborn and will sit at my computer till i fix an audio issue, or any problem I have.
Yes it is real, and I think it is auto login. Idk anything about Linux. He just downloads everything via a program called Discover. I never asked which Linux distro he was using.
I am very sure he’s just installing flatpaks, it’s likely kde’s discover. Still he could just enter their boot from a live boot and chroot into the OS and do passwd (user) to change any password I believe unless it’s encrypted or sumthing which would probably not let you autologin in the first place.

I haven’t troubleshot windows in years. I fix switches, firewalls, Linux, and some mac issues.
Its like I can’t fix a BMW or Audi but can still work on other cars.

It looks like kde’s discover. He is too lazy to fix it himself, and I don’t know how to tell him how.

They are on the steam deck. They might have told me that before, but I forgot. They reminded me again today.
But it is confusing. The store doesn’t offer java/jre. I was trying to play RSC with him, and required it.
