My grandma once complained about something wrong with her web browser. She had a generic install of Windows, so was using Internet explorer. I told her she should use Firefox (my cousin was there, and agreed) so she told us to change it.
Installed Firefox, deleted desktop icon of Internet explorer, added desktop icon for Firefox. My grandma couldn’t understand why the little picture was different, didn’t know what to do to get to Facebook, and told us to fix it so it worked again.
So my cousin changed the icon from Firefox to internet explorer. Problem solved.
Linux is a good idea in theory, but someone really needs to put the work in to make it look and work as close as humanly possible to Windows. I don’t have time or patience to be 24-7 tech support for everyone in my family over 60.
I saw this recently and sent it to some folks as a joke (been trying to get them to switch)
They did seem more receptive to it, though. https://gitgud.io/wackyideas/aerothemeplasma/
