They’re in their 60’s, finally convinced them.

They say things like “This is the same…”

and I’m like

“Ya because that’s Firefox, the only program you use…”

“What was Windows even doing for us?”

    Windows is just the micro kernel running the actual operating system: Firefox.

    linux has 2 really good target audiences people using it as a near chrome book like experience, and ultra advanced users who want fine control of the system.

    its everyone else in the middle that needs to play how much do i have to tweak in order to do what I want.

      Moving from Windows as an intermediate user was the worst. I hated Linux for like a year. I knew just enough quirks about Windows to get 95% of what I wanted, 95% of the time, and on Linux I had to start from scratch.

      Now of course I love I made the switch, as my Linux proficiency let me customize the heck out of everything, but damn, that first year…
