  It really kills me every time I see a Windows hint like this. Ten or fifteen or maybe even twenty years ago, one of Windows' arguments against Linux was that configuring simple things (like, say, preventing automatic updates from interrupting your fucking workflow) involved some series of arcane commands that I'll never be able to walk my wife or my mom through over the phone. Now it's literally the opposite. My wife's laptop runs OpenSUSE (or maybe Manjaro, I can't remember what I put on there after she got upset with Mint for whatever reason; whatever it was, the updates work and she can get whatever software she wants to work without my intervention, because I haven't heard about it for almost a year.) My mom's still cursing Windows 10 almost daily, and still bemoans the loss of Windows 7 (lol). But she's literally terrified to let me install anything else, even after I've shown her how easy it is to use. Microsoft has completely removed her ability to choose something else. She trusts them more than me. It's scary.
