Even my mother can run Linux

Yeah - Linux is way in front - I only run Windoze when forced, like last week buying a HTC Vive with no linux support, and boy is it a slow PITA pain after linux.

I could have downloaded an entire linux distro and installed in the time it took to do just one Win10 update the other evening.

Don't get me started, my dad is almost 80 and never paid for a micro$oft license in his life, he used to teach maths and computing at the local university, he started with punchcards, PDP8/11 and VMS and never liked windoze and for good reason.

Notice how you didn't answer any of the parent's points.

Actually, I did, responding to the last line:

"That is the problem with Linux. Of course it's getting better and better but it's not where OSX or Windows is by any means."

That wasn't a particular point the parent had -- just his general conclusion. He listed several pain points none of which was addressed.

Windoze? micro$oft?

Is this 90s Slashdot?

It's retro chic.
