This list is the main reason Lenox has only a fraction of the market of Windows.

Try explaining to grandma, who only wants to turn on the computer and see Pictures of her grandkids, why she needs to switch the latest ‘distro’.

Sure--right after you explain to her why she needs to upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11.

But she doesn’t. Install a good one that is easy to use and leave it alone, no need to switch anything after. It will run and run and run without any problems. Unlike windows that breaks every other update. I think Gradma would appreciate not having to take it to the PC store every other month because she doesn’t know how to fix Windows either. The stability of Linux is ten fold over Windows.

Or why grandma needs to learn all kinds of convoluted console commands.
