I know people dont want to hear that but none of these problems would happen if people installed Linux. Windows is just a bottomless pit of malware either by third parties or MS themselves
- Tenoke 4y agoI've seen many younger people get tripped up too much with Linux laptop (typically installed/sold by a friend) when they do just fine on Windows. There's little chance the senior in question will do well if you had given them a linux machine.
- gureddio 4y agoI think the distribution needs to be picked very carefully. I'd imagine most users would get on with Ubuntu without any issues
- timbit42 4y agoIf all they need is a web browser, any Linux distro is fine. If they need to install apps, then a bit of training is required to find the app store and how to install downloaded DEB files.
- johannes1234321 4y agoPlain suers don't want to deal with an operating system. They expect that a machine they buy for $$$$ is useable for what it is supposed. (And if large computer vendors would start preinstalling Linux they'd add their crapware there to "build their relationship" with the customer and selling a few ads or whatever)
- _dain_ 4y agoyeah that's technically correct, none of these problems would happen. there would just be different problems.
