    Every time I install windows I needed to use the terminal to bypass microsoft’s online login requirement. Clearly Windows is not ready.

      Let’s be real for a second. A normie would appreciate that there is a login that have saved their favorites and how their desktop is setup. A normie would appreciate that it remembers they are giving you localized news and weather and traffic.

      A normie does not put privacy that high as a priority than you.

      Trying to suggest that Linux is now ready for normies is a disservice to normies that try it and will never try it again for another 15 years.

        My grandmother has been using Linux for five years now and she doesn’t know what Linux or Windows are. Its just the computer.

          I argue that a grandma has less needs than someone younger. My grandma uses a 10 year old LG phone that has replaceable batteries. Never complains. Makes perfect phone calls.

          Ask a teen if he enjoys Fortnite or PUBG with their friends and they will say they don’t know. Because their parents force Linux on them.
