I'm not saying it doesn't matter; stereotyping here, you've got two groups. Those who know about it, and don't care and those who don't know but do care. Those who do live in the world of part time computer usage. They check their facebook, shop amazon, grocery shop. But are the "I've got nothing to hide, so what does it matter" category. And those who are concerned for it are unable to embrace the difference. As like teaching an old dog new tricks. By all means they can, and they want to change. The learning curve is however too steep. What they have learnt is what they can handle. They don't the same time to learn as the younger audience does. My mother wants the internet to look up patterns of leaves so she can lino print not wanting to diagnose why systemd hangs at night when she turns off her computer. If you take an existing install of Linux First of all, who is the one going to give them a USB key and let them install the OS? Burning an ISO is tricky enough for anyone. Google usb iso burner and you get swamped by download promiscuous download sites. My father doesn't know about Rufus, my mother doesn't know about DD. And this is where Windows and OSX leaps ahead. They come pre-installed, press the power button and your good to go. Back to Linux you then have to run some chonky installer. Ubuntu's installer is astrocious in requiring to be connected to the internet. You then have to hope that the drivers work. Compatibility is better than how it used to be but with OEM computers it can be easily sabotaged by the vendor and then on top of that the decision of the Window Manager and hope they like. It's not an easy change.
