It's good and all but it's really not for everyone, and despite what people on here would have you think it's certainly not as easy to use as Windows.

Absolutely. You have to be prepared for things to not work the first time and have basic troubleshooting skills to investigate, even if the answer is simple.

I deal with people who freak the fuck out if their app isn't pinned to their taskbar. I've learned to deal with these people, I would never in a million years talk tech to these people in a serious manner.
