    I’ve seen many a tech-illiterate people try to install things they want on their computer - games mostly. Steam is rather painless these days, thankfully. But things like Solitaire, or maybe some emulator (which admittedly requires a minimal technical knowhow, but see the “make an exe and give it to me” meme) will be difficult for the average user.

    Sure, if it’s an older relative, they could ask you for help. On windows they’d most likely not have to.

    I don’t think these people can install Windows or are pros at using it either

    Just to be clear, I’m talking about a “What if” scenario where its possible to buy a computer with linux preinstalled, similarly to how you can buy one with windows.
