From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I don't know. I run a Nextcloud instance for myself and I let my gf tag along. Why do you think people shouldn't help their families out?
I definitely think they should help their families out. Helping them select an alternative service is helping out.
Being on the hook for endless tech support while getting blamed for everything is not helping out. It’s also not healthy for your relationship with your sibling, and it’s not a good use of family holiday time.
A partner is different. You already share a lot of infra, and since you presumably spend a lot more time together it’s not likely to impact your relationship as much unless you go full Pat & Mat do IT.
I think this sums it up nicely.
The comment you replied to is a direct reply to the comment you linked - I don't think it was intentional, but if it was, then I'd like to say it's not a very helpful reply as OP already read it.
