Look, it is over and will probably never change (I'm talking about in our lifetime): Linux is for geeks and hackers and it is frustrating for someone who isn't one. 'Bout 9 years ago I installed it for the last time on someone's computer. She plugged an external drive into it and then asked me where it was. I told her she had to mount it before, and that was it, I saw how stupid that was to someone used to having a drive just show up, when what they wanted exactly was to have the drive show up. Never installed linux on anyone's computer anymore.
- fallat 11y agoI've installed Elementary and Ubuntu on several older people's machines. They loved it.
- foiboitoi 11y agoYeah I don't know what that guy's talking about. My parents and a few friends love Ubuntu (some Debian). Granted they mostly just use Internet Browsers and other basics. I think Linux would work perfectly for around 80 to 90% of current Windows users.
- sanoli 11y agoWell, I'm talking about what happened 9 years ago. Maybe things have changed, though it doesn't seem like it from the other comments on this thread.
