"I can fix that in a few minutes" versus "I can come visit you in two weeks" does work well, though.
I'm just going to put out there that to my mom, priorities are different. She'll absolutely prefer a video/phone call and visit to me just solving her problem.
The thing about her using Elementary is that these things haven’t come up in the years she’s been on it. I’m sure I just jinxed it now though.
