I bought my mother a Macbook during the Snow Leopard era and we sold it after 2 months because she could absolutely not get used to the UI, since she had been using Windows since basically forever.
So much for "intuitive UI".
- Gareth321 3y agoHuh. My mother hand no issues. I guess your mileage may vary.
- bruce511 3y agoThis is exactly my point, and indeed the point of the parent. If you know Windows use Windows. If you know Mac, use Mac. There is no reason to make your mom (or my mom) switch. And while MacOS may be intuitive, its less intuitive if you come from something else. I used one for a bit and found everything "backwards". One version of Mac to another or one version of Windows to another is trivial compared to changing from one to the other. Obviously the Linux CLI is waaay beyond most average people. So it's a non starter anyway.
