    This sentence is the problem that most people who are basic windows end users experience. They have no fucking clue why so many versions exist (or flavors what have you) and have no idea what to install. Windows gives them the comfort of an all encompassing OS even if it’s shitty it’s easy. My 67 year old mom probably can’t just use Linux.

      Lots of Windows users don’t even know they use Windows, so I don’t think this really matters, as long as the computer comes preinstalled with a user-friendly distro or their tech savvy grandson sets it up for them.
