Re: Solving the Windows Issues

"Windows 10 converted my nonagenarian great aunt to Linux, and she's never looked back after making the switch. In her words, "I don't ever want that Windows mess on my computer again!"

My denarian daughter converted from a Linux laptop to Windows 10 and she's happy as ever. The app store includes games and other stuff in an easy to use interface with screen caps, videos and everything. One click and the software installs.

Just like with Apple store and Google Play stores. No knowledge of the underlying OS is needed.

Contrast that with the boring grey repo manager windows with no real indication of what the software is like, which is probably fine for people who know exactly what they're looking for. The Steam store requires downloading a .deb and manually installing it and Steam itself has its own small selection of games to play.
