My parents have a hard time clicking a download button and double clicking to install.
There's no way I can get them to apt-get anything from a command shell.
There's also GUI package managers. If you chose a normal distro, there should already be one.
Linux Mint doesn't require you to open a terminal for that. And in contrast to Windows, when you hit update there, you get all your software updated too. Windows still has no package management and you download exes from arbitrary sites you have to poll for updates like a caveman.
How messed up is it that the touchscreen generation is having the same problem.
