Santa Claus must exist, because my kid got a smartwatch featuring the latest version of -Wear OS. - The operating system had to first perform an update to get the latest version, though. I know diddly about smartwatches. The Google Pay feature seems like a nifty trick. It is kind of hard to see a map on a smartwatch, so you would need to carry a magnifying glass which is larger than carrying a smartphone. I think they need a gold embossed flip-cover like on the old antique pocket-watches. I am concerned about my kid wearing this to school. But if the watch has a tracker feature, that would give me peace of mind, if I could check in to find out where my kid is. Being able to customize the face of the watch seems to be the #1 feature. I can see how someday these watches will be more practical, such as when the voice-assistant is able to do more task.

I remember a decade ago when I bought a small 13- laptop for collage and was surprised to find out it ran Win 7 32 bit, I was even more surprised when I looked into the actual hardware and found out it was all 64 bit. I wonder how many people put 32 bit linux on their machines not realizing they were actually fully 64bit?
Oh, and that decade old laptop, still running, still working, though, wile win 10 was lighter then 7, a modern linux distro is still faster then anything M$ could deliver on that old hardware: ) - and I do mean modern distro. I tried Solus on it, with budgie as a desktop - the machine is ancient and Solus still is faster then win10, if I tried something like Lubuntu the machine would probably put to shame most over 10k $ windows machines when it comes to speed.

My desktop is 32b. In a third world country like mine computers are expensive. Many used dual core 32b machines lying around for a good price. We pop on Linux and unlock potential by giving these computers to communities or individuals who'd otherwise would never be able to afford their own personal computer.
It is 2018 and every person should learn basic computer skills and know what the internet is. Yes, many kids have mobile phones and access to the net. The minute you walk into employment they're not going to give you a phone to perform your tasks.

Concerning the live usb with persistence: He could install any Linux distro on the Stick the same way as on a hard drive, so it would even be updatable. I run an Ubuntu like this since 4 years on a Sandisk Cruzer Edge 64 Gb (USB3) and it runs really good even on machines with only USB2 ports. I never had any issue with hardware compatibility even switching the stick between Intel and Amd machines, so this should be just fine. He could even run this from an external ssd for more speed.

Most people these days take operating systems with graphical user interface for granted. It's taken really many years to get where computers and computing are today. We should not forget that many, many computers, and I mean data centers servers don't run graphics. Please note that some of the top 500 supercomputers are machines with 1400 MHz chips. That is, 1. 4 GHz, not 3, or 4 something GHz.

ElementaryOS for a new user coming over from Windows AND Mac? No. Mac, yes. Not Windows users. I recently showed it(elementaryOS) to a family friend I'm trying to get off of Windows and well, it didn't go over well. They even said that it was Mac. So, it's a no go for Windows users. So, now I have them on FerenOS, however, I don't think they will stay on it. I hope they do.

Then end of ironically named -Net Neutrality- is a GREAT thing for a free cyberspace. Net Neutrality- = a government controlled and managed net. Government does not grant you freedom it can only take it away. A free internet is far too important to place in the hands of all powerful organisations with a monopoly on violence- in the hands of government.

Please someone I need help with Lubuntu! I'm a complete noob and I've installed around 10 apps and like 5 of them aren't shown anywhere between all the installed apps. I could search for them, but the app that should allow me to do that is one of the apps that I can't find! How can I find stuff in my computer without installing other apps?

I still use my netbook (and it's no where near 15 years old. It's small and comes in handy once in a while. No, it isn't the latest/greatest, but still does basic tasks fine. I take it when I travel. But like you said, there's other 32 bit distro's out there. I'm running Peppermint on it now, and it's fantastic.

32 bit hardware had old software to support them. It's full of security holes but as a retro computer, they all have security issues. So don't leave them running, and don't put sensitive data on them. And keep your software updated on systems that you actually put sensitive data on.
