There’s anther thread on here about linux for new people and suggestions regarding that. A lot of people in that thread just didn’t get it. They were talking about learning the terminal, learning how to CD, installing stuff via the terminal etc and I’m like “your average user isn’t going to do that”
Hell most average Window users today don’t even download an exe and go through the install process. I know some that have never even opened file explorer. They have apps that get those files or pictures or whatever in the default directories for them.
so telling a user like that to open a terminal emu and type in “sudo apt install firefox” and to remember to “upgrade and update” is beyond them. like WAY beyond them.
So yes in that regard your’e right, Zorin would be the way to go. just have somewhere to download their apps/programs in an easy to understand and clean GUI.
Nope; the average person wants to only customise/personalise, not tinker.
I’m suggesting this distro to friends and family moving off of windows and wanting to save money. They think using command line is too “extra”.
I didn’t say average person I said average Linux installer which is FAR from the average person.
