15 years and Linux still has barely improved the usability for the average user.
- KGIII 9y agoAverage user of Linux, or average computer user? Specific DE that you have in mind? Those vary, a lot. I am a happy Linux user and find it very usable. It is just point and click. I find other OSes to be more difficult, but I suppose that's unfamiliarity.
- flukus 9y agoConsidering the direction windows has gone with usability I'm quite happy with remaining stagnant.
- 88e282102ae2e5b 9y agoI would argue that Xubuntu is almost grandparent-ready.
- digi_owl 9y agoFrankly Linux is grandparent ready. The problem i "power user" ready, in particular "media production power user" ready. But then that group is tribal, if not religious, that makes RMS seem atheist.
- theandrewbailey 9y agoXubuntu was mom-proof about 7 years ago. I put her on mint for a year or two, but I've had her on Xubuntu for most of the past 7 years. She's old enough to be a grandma.
