I have a relative who still asks me questions about Windows. I have
not run Windows at home since 98SE. We run it at work, but I am not in desktop support so I don't really know a lot about setting it up any
more.

I was reading an article just today that implies that younger people ar not as likely to be working, or looking for work, at all, so there is that.
How do they expect to pay their bills & things without an income?

LOL, I never remember anyone complaining about the distance to the printer... well, except one guy who was morbidly obese and I suspect had COPD... but I do remember some people bringing in their own printers so they could print stuff in their cubes.
I always had the pain in the ass in Payroll/HR/whichever who claimed
they needed a printer within arm's reach in order to print confidential
work product.
Boy, did they hate it when we implemented badge-in printing and took
their piece-of-shit little printer that they called for support on continually.

what sucks is when you fix someone's computer, you are viewed as being eternally responsible for taking care of that computer until its
demise. ---
But that's no different than work.
"SystemX is broken. Who touched it last?"
"Fred did."
"OK, Fred. Go fix it."
It makes no difference whether Fred last touched it 6 days or 16 years ago. Fred owns it since he last touched it.

When your indigenous workforce is stagnant, you rely more on
migrant workers who will do the work.

While that may be true, it's got nothing to do with the question that
was asked.

It is relevent because if the younger generation was all we
relied on to get simple or entry jobs done, we'd be screwed. In
my area the orchard and vineyard work is done by migrant
employees. Maybe over 50 years ago it would've been teenagers
and college kids who didn't have an internship. Even
landscaping, yard work, and construction are no longer jobs you
see younger pe ople do.

If you are getting paid by the hour, it is on the boss.

Fred probably knows the most about the operation of the system, or
knows more about it than anyone else. Some people wish for that type
of attention. Others are cursed by it.

Again, I agree with your statement right there. But AGAIN, it has
nothing to do with the question that was asked, which was: "How do they expect to pay their bills & things without an income?".
Do you see? Not sure how it can be explained any more clearly. Yes,
the younger generation doesn't want to do entry level jobs. So.... HOW
DO THEY EXPECT TO BE ABLE TO PAY THEIR BILLS?
Your answer just reinforces the idea that they won't be able to pay
their bills, but it doesn't explain HOW they WILL be able to pay their bills.

100% agree! But again..... ;-)

There is a beta option you can turn on that will enable to run most games. I think it's called 'Proton'. It allows me to play Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3.

Yeah, Proton is what I had tried, and was having problems with at least one game.
