Yes Barb I know you've never seen a CLI in your life, but on the other hand have you considered that someone on an online forum put linux mint on their mom's laptop and it works better than windows? Idk just makes you think
Lots of people cite "I gave my grandma Linux and she can use it" as proof of it being decently easy to use but considering prior to that they've been using a Windows XP box with 0 problems with minimal intervention for 15 years just kinda says that Linux is equally usable in that use case.
I mean I can do work on Linux (and I install LibreOffice every time I get a work laptop), but worrying about weird formatting issues going from LO to Office always makes me rely on stuff like Google Docs for anything I need to make sure looks correct.

My parents were really bad at Linux but my grandma had no trouble with it when I put Ubuntu on her laptop
o7 to grandma crime for being better at Linux than me
For the average PC user a mobile OS really is the most optimum thing for them to have, Windows just gives you enough rope to hang yourself
