My mother turns 70, February this year, and she has been using Linux on the desktop for the past 21 years. My mother-in-law is 65, she has been using Linux on the desktop since 2015.

90% of people could use ubuntu or similar no problem because all they need to be capable of doing is opening a web browser. I think graphical OS's were a mistake however not because they aren't useful but because they ultimately ended up letting the morons in who predictably proceeded to destroy everything.

The largest influx of retards into the internet was with the advent of the smartphone. Niggers wouldn't have access to the internet if it wasn't for smartphones.

Basically yes.

Social media lowered the barrier to entry for children and women. Before social media the internet was mostly dudes and everything worked because men ran things.

Everything we see now is basically us getting a glimpse into what goes on in womens minds and a female oriented society: utter chaos and perpetual social warfare.

LOL. I tried Ubuntu on the last three machines I built. It was extremely irritating. Right off the bat I ran into the bug that it would repeatedly ask me for the WiFi password every boot. Everyone says, "no problem, just make sure gnome keyring is installed." It was installed. Didn't matter. Drove me so crazy I finally dumped it for Mint. Mint had a bug where the retarded nouveau drivers would cause a hard system freeze every few minutes. The system suggested a binary Nvidia driver that resulted in a black screen at boot and ctrl+alt+f1 does nothing JFC!

I've been periodically trying various distros since my first try with Redhat in 1998. I'm still not using Linux on my personal computers because there's always something that doesn't work that I need to work, and no mailing lists or boards have been able to rectify them.

Its fun trying to install a basic third party softwaee package.

Installs, doesnt work. Read faq, realise theres something else it depends on you need first. Uninstall. Install dependant package. Fail that because the dependancy has a dependancy on more software you dont have.

Basically every install instruction for linux involves

  1. Press y and enter.
  2. ?
  3. ?
  4. ?
  5. ?
  6. Profit. Maybe.

Linix users claiming you can do everything with linux is the same as aldo claiming you can do all your shopping there.

Its immediately bullshit as it does not cover all uses, plenty of it is barely useable, and the fact its free is visible in its quality.

Tldr unless youre doing basic ass tasks you need more than linux.

I've done Ubuntu and Mint without issue but I researched the hardware when I built the desktop. If you get incompatible hardware welcome to a hellscape of installing daisy chains of shit that may or may not be maintained or work with your distro, praying, hacking, and fucking with your BIOS. I mean, if you have a shitload of free time and want to learn Linux the hard way I guess?
