a medical professional in berlin asked me for a referral for paid help migrating from windows to debian on their work laptop (thinkpad), is there a cool small company (or freelancer) in berlin who does that sort of thing that you can recommend?

@mntmn paid help?? Very bad. Use Ai. Seriously it can help you step by step
@Hermetikoz @mntmn fine, i will bite :). there are situations in which people are overbooked and want a pro to avoid pitfalls of following how-tos, intepreting them etc. it's perfectly ok to pay for a good service, there is nothing "very bad" about it. if you had different experience, i am sorry to hear that.

@mntmn i do that sort of work regularly

@Hermetikoz @mntmn AI isn't reliable. People don't want to do the job individually, they want to pay someone to do it for them.
-
You're absolutely right. But I'm sure it will help a lot because it's a technical job. Like 1 and 0. It is a technical topic.
@Hermetikoz
There are plenty of very fine online tutorials available, created by real humans. No ai needed.

@mntmn https://endof10.org/places/ has several Berlin places

@mntmn Do you like search enginee, use it. Cominity or forums. So you can do task alone. Very easy..
I learn it myselfAI is the spirit of the times; you can't escape it.
@Hermetikoz @mntmn Seriously fuck off using replies to people's requests for real help as a chance to promote the slop machines that rotted your brain.

Here is an overview of local Linux user groups in Berlin
https://lug.berlin/For instance, on the website of the Berliner Linux User Group e.V. you can find a contact form, I imagine these good people may be able to provide the referral you need.

@mntmn probably there's a LoCo (local community) that can help for free and use the payment as a donation.
Try here: https://lug.berlin/

@Hermetikoz One literally can partially escape AI. Literally just don't willingly come in contact with it. Obviously there's times when it's unavoidable. #lang_en

You're right. It could be like that.
I just wanted to say that paying for a Debian installation is pointless.
Maybe I misunderstood something, I don't know. I investigated aftet, The account is a computer shop's account.
He called me a troll.
But i wanted a bit help to him

My adhd'er brain@Hermetikoz It is, in fact, not pointless to pay someone for a Debian installation. Especially if you just want to send your computer away and get it back done, and you'll figure out the rest of the Linux stuff when you get it (or you already have figured out the Linux stuff). #lang_en

@mntmn@mastodon.social There's the Linux café at Technikmuseum: https://technikmuseum.berlin/veranstaltung/linux-cafe/ + I'll repost in case someone in my timeline does such things for money.

@Hermetikoz @mntmn that is very bad advice!
1. A person asking for paid help is usually asking, because he doesn’t have the time or interest in doing it themselves
2. Using #AI for something where you have no clue will likely lead to data loss and is just a waste of timeAI (or rather #LLM) sounds like it knows what it writes, but it doesn’t actually understand it. Never forget that!

@mntmn since he is asking for commercial support forums, Stammtisch etc are going to be offputting.
Ich helfe gerne. PM to schedule a call?

AI? Ewww. If you're going to go without help, the docs are fine.
But the OP asked for a company or person to help, this is not an answer to that question.

@ellenor2000
Thanks Ellenor.
Yes, some users don't know very good about pc systems.
Thank you again for your understanding approach.

@mntmn I know I'm digressing, but if it is not secret, I'm curious what they use for their directory/authentication server. FreeIPA?

I don't know mntmn at all, but loking at the task:
Knowing Linux well and using it all the time is different from porting a well-entrenched Windows user to Linux. Perhaps dedicated expertise is a useful thing to look for.
