  • That’s quite a high bar. Can you give a Windows or Mac laptop to your elderly neighbour and not also provide them support?

    I realise that I am only a sample set of one and my mother and father have very different usage patterns but they are both in their late 70s. My mother has an Ubuntu laptop and my father had a Windows one. He requires a lot more support. My mum’s biggest issue is forgetting her password which is hardly the fault of the OS.

    Edit: to be clear I’m not necessarily agreeing with the OP. I have no opinion on the needs of “most users”.
