I know many people are pushing Linux but imagine having to train basic users on another OS after decades on Windows? It's fine for your home lab, but blows ass for a windows shop
IDK, some asshole recommended one of my elderly family members a chromebook, he can't adapt to it, and lost the admin password. Windows 10 shoves shovelware and random updates on his computer confusing him anyway, do you really think LMDE is going to be that much harder to understand than having to explain to him where the fuck avast antivirus came from?
How is losing the admin password related to the functionality of the OS in any way?
It's called storytelling. Not all the details are essential to the idea, they are there to paint a picture.
Lol OK.
