>What’s the appeal of Windows now, Apps that only run on Windows. (Some Windows apps don't even have macOS versions.) >I think if someone is setting up Windows for grandma to use Facebook on, then surely Ubuntu can serve the same purpose? Maybe some dedicated grandkids can try and report back. I know a "grandma" in her late 70s that runs Windows with sewing embroidery software (Bernina and Brother) and Quicken for personal finances. Those apps don't run on Linux and using workarounds such as Wine or virtual machines for them is not reliable. So it's not just the exotic business apps like CAD/CAM and Adobe Photoshop/Premiere that keeps users on the Windows platform. If a user is using the desktop as just a way to run a web browser 100% of the time, then yes, a Linux desktop is a realistic platform for non-techies.
