But every version of windows requires training because they keep changing crap for no reason.

As in why the split between settings and control panel. Why the nonstop start menu changes? And so forth

IDK, some asshole recommended one of my elderly family members a chromebook, he can’t adapt to it, and lost the admin password. Windows 10 shoves shovelware and random updates on his computer confusing him anyway, do you really think LMDE is going to be that much harder to understand than having to explain to him where the fuck avast antivirus came from?

I’d say it is worse trying to find replacement for software not available on Linux and trying to adjust/learn the new workflow when you do.

On the other hand, a lot of software I wanted was primarily Linux, so that was nice when I switched.

It’s so much easier than you think, it’s not even funny
