There are tech savvy people in every generation and some dumbos. IMO the low bar for being tech savvy has nothing to do with PDFs, it's whether or not you can install a functioning operating system on a device. Anyone who can do that can figure out any of that other stuff.

That's not the bar it used to be. You don't even need to worry about device drivers anymore.

Even the most difficult Linux installs now aren't that much more complicated than XP was.

Anything from Home Assistant / Sonarr / Radarr / ntfy / MQTT / LoRa would make my current basic savvy list.

It's a low bar, being less about knowledge and more about willingness and curiosity.
