I've introduced a few folks to Linux in the past. I don't do it any more, because I'm not patient enough with folks. Most people don't have any idea how to really use MS-Windows, and they've been using it for years. Asking them to do anything different is an exercise in frustration for both you and them.It has nothing whatsoever with how easy or hard Linux is, because they don't actually understand computers regardless of what it's running. Frankly, I think most folks are better off with tablets.

It’s true. I have my wife on linux but I end up helping her let’s say 4 or 5 times a week. Which is fine because she’s my wife. If it was my brother-in-law or my barber it wouldn’t work.
