Disagree. I have my (extremely) non-technical wife and 8 year old son on Linux laptops and it's totally fine. Is it perfect? No. But it's good enough. I'm the one who updates them, though.
- sacnoradhq 4y agoSupport is key: I don't support my (extremely non-technical) mom's Windows laptop or her iPhone because there's nothing for me to do. (My mom had a stroke and is mid 70's.) She wouldn't be able to use anything other than Windows because the retraining burden would be too great. I would expect most 8-year-olds to easily move between any OS because they're far more adaptable than ye olde fuddy-duddy adults. PS: Which Linux distro?
- rthomas6 4y agoManjaro for my son and some kind of Ubuntu flavor for my wife.
