Why Linux is Best for Most People
(medium.com)
A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

This seems wildly out of touch. Yes, things are getting better and more user friendly, but its definitely not "best for most people".
Until i can give a laptop with linux to my neighbour without also needing to also provide support, its not there yet.
Edit: removed unintended agism. Technical ability is not linked to age, i should know better.
Technical ability is very much linked to age. Same as playing the piano is linked to how much you practice
Interest × practice, not so much age.
A 70 year old who retired and spent 5 years learning all they could about tech, can have much more technical ability than a 25 year old who spent 20 years learning all they could about memes and internet influencers.
