Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

Unironically why I switched my parents to Linux - they don't touch any important settings so usually the only problems are when they get a new popup / prompt they've never seen, which ofc happens a lot more on windows especially when they decide to push some new thing or decide that they want to convince people to enable something new or change a setting that they want people to use.
I also love that if they call me I can just ssh in over tailscale and do whatever needs doing.
YES. I think Windows tries to keep computing "simple" while simultaneously training poor expectations and habits into its users.
"Never listen to these big scary error messages! It's a scam!" (But also forces full-screen ads and "recommendations" for things to modify your system)
It's very "It's only okay when we do it."
