As much as I love Linux, I can't really suggest it to casual users because I would end up being tech support for every issue. I'd suggest it to slightly more advanced users who know the basics of troubleshooting.

In my humble opinion I tend to disagree. I have installed Linux (Fedora 38) on a system of an absolute computer noob and up until now (2 months in) I haven't heard a single complaint or question. It's faster than Win 10 and surprisingly even more stable.

Is that because nothing works on the computer anymore, and they are unable to contact you because of it? 🤔

If that would be the case he'd still have my cellphone number and a landline which i (pinky promise!) haven't touched!
