    My ssd is sda (with a sda1 boot partition and an encrypted root partition). I may be in Gen Z but I also have Autism, granted I didnt grow up with a lot of technology but I always squeezed every ounce out of them. When I was 13 I installed Linux, by 16 I already knew how to use a terminal (and manage the entire system with it), today I would say im relatively good at basic IT and basic network management (although im struggling greatly at installing coreboot).

    Conclusion: Gen Z/Alpha probrally wont be great at computers but there will probrally be many individuals who will be significantly more advanced at computers. I was watching YouTube and a found a video of a 15 year old installing Arch manually in less than 10 minutes on a Chromebook. So tbh I wouldn’t be worried tbh (at least about this specifically).

      That’s because is a SATA SSD.

      Yeah, I’m Gen Z as well and watching people use Google without knowing what to put in the search box drives me nuts, but that’s why they pay for me so…

      I remember telling my dad “Computers aren’t that hard. You just need to read what is the thing saying” and most people won’t even read, let alone comprehend.

        Correct :3

        The problem is more and more systems these days won’t let you read what they’re saying, systems like ChromeOS, Android (AOSP is better but only if you’re a dev), IOS, IpadOS, MacOS, and Windows are going out of their way to hide “power user” features. At this point the only real choice of operating systems for people who want full control over their computer are Linux distributions.
