I tried to move my parents to Ubuntu, but it ultimately caused them to call me more often than when they had Windows. Especially with things related to printing. In the end I bought them a macbook air. I've had 1 call in 5 years due to internet not working and it turned out the ISP had an outage.

This is the one use case I -semi- didn't believe. I'm a Linux diehard of two decades, and always get confused when people claim they have to compile drivers or things not working. Maybe I've been fortunate. BUT....printing in Linux is still a nightmare for most brands I've used. Currently using a Canon laser that I love the quality of, but want to sledgehammer it every time I need to print something.
