Why could anyone's auntie do it when they needed MS-DOS or Windows installed in the 90s, and they could not do it any more today? The 'expert' being a neighbour, the little nephew himself, or whichever friend of the family.

The world outside of Linux has moved on from people needing experts to set up computers.

Today we just tell auntie to buy an iPad.
