I second this. A lot of technical people struggle with Linux, and I think a lot of that is because they have a way of working and they want to force whatever they use to work like that. While less technical people just use whatever they're given. My father and my grandmother both use Linux, and they don't even know it and there are no issues.
I do IT for free for anyone in my city (its small), and I tend to just give people elitedesks with Linux on them to replace aged Walmart PCs. YouTube and email is what most people do at home, that and Amazon/whatever.
I got to thinking in this thread I can even convert the "gamer" types to Linux - I need to make sure Facebook games work on chromium... And show them Steam.
Right, it's better to dictate how things should be when the user doesn't care and doesn't have the background. Which is probably why most people in the category are using iPhones and Chromebooks, not Linux mint.
