There is fine line with being tech illiterate and being able to use linux when it all just works. The problems arise only when you are just slightly more advanced and want to do something weird without actually being able do it in linux with some things being a bit too much for the average Joe.

The only thing people like my parents need is a functioning browser. I bet %95 of all Windows/Mac users are similar.

Yeah that is not true. Microsoft Office is one super commonly used thing, and that doesn't work on Linux.

And before you say, yes there are alternatives to Office. The point is most people definitely need more than a web browser.

Yeah correction, people think Chromium is enough until it's not

Microsoft Office works in the browser.
