It’s awesome for software devs, sys admins, tinkerers. But that’s it. Most distros still have too many issues for me to recommend it to every Windows user.
No, Linux is also great for tech illiterate people who just need a browser and e-mail. It’s only hard for people who think they know computers but really only know some Windows
I tend to agree. but how do you automatize updates? tech illiterate people won’t open the shell, and apt upgrade.
with some distros like mint and opensuse there’s a paved way to set this up with a gui, but even that is just small updates. what will the user do with major distribution upgrades?
Most distros have automated updates, or ask to update on power-off. Debian and all derivatives do. As for major updates, I do those for my tech illiterate family. It’s not like they can do that themselves, but they wouldn’t be able to upgrade Windows themselves either.
Well first thing my mom asked me was where she can run Office. Second thing she asked was how she can go back to Windows as it has Office already installed.
I agree with that for daily tasks it’s great and easy.
It works until you try to connect an exotic device in the game or just use a external device most of the time you will have to do it manually or it will just doesn’t work.
On the gripping hand, if you’re trying to connect an older external device, you’re more likely to get it working eventually under Linux (which usually keeps device drivers until they bit-rot out of the kernel tree) than Windows (whose drivers are version-specific and only get ported forward if the manufacturer thinks there’s money in it). Six of one, half-a-dozen of the other, as far as I’m concerned, and device setup is a thing you should only have to do rarely anyway.
The peripherals were mostly dead before it reach the end of support in windows. It’s just plug and play for thousands of periphericals (gaming, music, etc…).

wasn’t that happening automatically since 7?

What issues? And does Linux have more issues than Windows or different ones?
Often Windows has more issues, people have just gotten used to dealing with them.
