I mean yeah, Chrome and Firefox both run on Linux. And that covers 99% of what most "normies" need.

It's funny when people say Linux is difficult for their grandparents or siblings, when that's the place it covers best. And it keeps them from calling you about random adware/spyware/viruses they accidentally installed.

It's prosumers and professionals that have more issues with Linux, because they tend to rely on proprietary software that's problematic to install/use.

Before she passed, I had one of my Grandmothers on Ubuntu for about a decade... I had to set it up for her, and I ran updates every few months for her, but she really didn't have an issue... Her Windows 9x era games even ran under Wine when they wouldn't load on Windows (7 I think), correctly.

Email, browser and a few games... she was pretty happy with it.
