I have already mentioned that my wife's laptop is playing up. It is
coming up to 7 years old and has a spinning HD.
I have my own laptop as a spare, which has an SSD and is working well.
So I am considering setting her up as a second user on that computer
while I decide what to do.
I have not set up a second user for a long time, and I mean more than 15
years, so I am a bit out of practice.
I would set her up with her own password, and obviously copy over any
files as necessary, including profiles. I would also like her to have
root available, mainly for updates.
Any help with this would be appreciated,
Neil
