This baffles me more than the autosave issue, to be honest. I mean, good on you for helping your daughter, but without practice, she'll forever stay a bad typist. The older she gets, the longer and complex her essays will be, and the harder it'll be for her to catch up in typing speed. If you have the funds, you may want to consider getting her a course to teach her 10-finger-typing.
Furthermore, if the laptop randomly reboots for no reason, autosave won't save you. You just need a tiny bit of bad luck for the computer to crash while saving, corrupting the perfectly-good file saved to disk. If the laptop reboots more often, you should consider focusing your efforts on resolving that, or you'll risk losing previously saved work through filesystem corruption in the long term.
As for autosave: if you don't trust LibreOffice, you can use Microsoft Word or Google Docs online for free. I agree that LibreOffice should just enable autosave by default, but you may want to switch to a cloud solution if your laptop randomly turns off.
There are free 10 finger typing classes online. Frankly it's a bit fun, similar to learning an instrument! I did one during downtime at work because I was a 6/7 finger typer, and always had to look for numbers or punctuation other than . , ! ?
It doesn’t take any money at all to learn touch typing: just google “learn to touch type” and there’s Mavis Beacon type software just written in js, totally free.
All that’s required is the discipline. If OP’s daughter sits with it 5 minutes a day she’ll be able to touch type in no time.
Learning as young as possible is the right move.
Mavis Beacon haha. For something not ancient, https://www.typingclub.com.
Hardly how file saving works. Else you could say the same about a bit of bad luck for the computer to crash while pressing ctrl-s, corrupting the perfectly-good file saved on disk.
Too many people on this thread seem to see autosave and ctrl-s as two different things, governed by magic and mystery, one of them indispensable to conside nyourself an experienced computer user. It's the same fucking piece of code, in one case invoked by a timer, in the other one by the end user pressing a key combo.
Op's issue was that automated was disabled by default. Obviously autosave doesn't work it it's disabled.
The reason OP lost data is because they never saved the document, probably because they relied on autosave being there when it wasn't, but autosave doesn't prevent your computer from turning off randomly. One random shutdown won't eat your document (long live journaling file systems) but if random shutdowns happen often, your computer will start eating files you're working on.
Obviously, Ctrl+S and autosave use the same mechanism, but frequent autosaving increases the probability of writes partially succeeding.
or instead of throwing more data/money at Big Tech try one of the self hosted instances of https://nextcloud.com/office/ or https://cryptpad.org/
This makes op a bad parent. Know this first op... The luxury of autosave is the least of your worries.
It doesn’t make them a bad parent. They are just making a poor choice out of what I assume is good intentions.
