    They said that Linux is really good, and they are not wrong that for the regular person, who struggles with even the most basic IT shit, there still isn’t a full “finished” option for them, really. Power users and more savvy people grow the technology but it’s the masses who fund it and the masses need something reliable or at least a close enough friend who can help them.

      Again. Have you used Fedora, Mint, Ubuntu?

      Regular people get help with basic stuff in windows All the time. That’s why there is a Geek Squad in best buy. That’s probably the only thing missing for the non technical Linux users.

      If people are paying someone to “install” their printer, why would it be different with Linux.

      In fact, in Linux they’d need less tech support as many windows users calls are for slowness, virus and obsolescence.

      Let’s not compare usability using different standards
