Say a friend is looking for a new system, and said person is not particularly savvy with technology, what system would you point them toward?

    MacOS.

    I hate Apple, and I do not like how they operate. But I cannot deny how user friendly their OS is, how affordable their machines are (Mac mini) and how even those who do not know how to use a PC, can pick them up and use them.

    Linux Mint is my second choice

    Only Linux which feels like a normal PC, and 99% of features can be installed via UI. There are holes, and I feel an immutable OS would fill this niche better, but for now this is my number 2.

      Ya, I do like my Mac, the track pad is phenomenal as well.

      But fuck everything about their prices, or at least the laptop prices…

      If I didn’t need a mac for work (iOS development), I’d probably try a linux laptop next.
