>“Grandma” is not the target audience
Who is the target audience?
XFCE looks old and dated.
I would use Cinnamon if you can. MATE is nice, but it too is a little long in the tooth.
The "Grandma" referenced by Mr. K only wants to look at pictures and read e-mail and doesn't know Windows from artichokes.
Don't get me wrong. I know plenty of older people who would jump at this sort of thing. But that is not who he was referencing in his post.
“Never trust anything said by an Apple fanboi. It’s like letting a commie sit down in your poker game. All they talk about is the dilalectic and how socialism can work if they just do it right. Totally ruins the game. :)”
As a technologist, I use the best technology for a given task, based strictly on the merits of the technology.
The politics of both Apple and Microsoft aren’t great, and most Linux development is done by liberal firms and individuals as well.
If politics is your litmus test for technology use, I suggest you stick to pencil and paper. ;-)
(BTW there’s a reason Apple is the biggest company on the stock market right now. Its technology is, in fact, easiest for “Grandma”.)
