  • Commuting isn’t cheap - it costs most of us over £100 a week. Offices are rarely, if ever, catered, so be prepared to spend for lunch (or spend your free time prepping lunch,or paying extra for portable food).

    Know what no-one factors in, the price of lost sleep for that commute, over the years you’re paying a real premium in medical care as conditions develop.

    Bring back genuine office perks (catering, refreshments, a culture of clocking out when done, banning open plan offices, on/near-site child care, flexibility for school runs, near-site medical/dental visits, exercise facilities open before and after hours) and offset the financial stresses by paying a reasonable wage, and you might see folks being less adverse towards RTO.


  • It’s going to sound really silly but here goes:

    1. Ensure their background is the same as it was (seriously, they often use it as an extra way to find things).

    2. Where possible, use windows icons for desktop shortcuts and mask link names to match vocab they’re familiar with.

    3. Have rustdesk set up with a link saying “Let <your name> help me”.

    4. Make sure they have their password written down somewhere.

    5. Make sure you have their password written down somewhere.

    6. Where possible have background updating, where not possible have a .sh file to do it for them.

    7. Add desktop links for things like downloads, documents and pictures.

    These are tips for any distro when moving less tech savvy relatives over. For those that like to game, ensure your fs on their gaming drive is a Linux one as it stops weird behaviour. Also, you know, install the games for them!
