Hello NLUG, I have an 82 year old computer hater that (rightfully) complained about Microsoft Windows every day for 19 years; switched her to Kubuntu LTS when Win7 ended, thankfully skipping Win10 and she's complained about Linux almost every day since, even though it works much better than Windows, at least in my book and I'm the end user engineer that has to listen to all the complaining and make it work. She's not interested in learning; can't explain anything to her; can't have one intelligent word, much less intelligent conversation about the least thing relating to computers.
I want to ask those of you who use Macs if maybe a $1300 iMac desktop would work so absolutely perfectly that a computer hater would all of a sudden be happy? Or if it wouldn't work absolutely perfectly, would it maybe work hands down at least a little better than any Linux distro? I've been able to either promptly fix or promptly find a workaround for every issue; that is if I'm asked. That's just not good enough; she doesn't want to even ask; just wants it to work. Hardly ever is it an issue of Linux not working; rather it's computer pediatrics. I switched her from Kubuntu after two years to Ubuntu. I suspect that RPM distros Fedora or OpenSUSE might have a little edge over the DEB distros on overall desktop stability, based on my own past experimentation, so I might give Fedora or OpenSUSE a try. Should I even consider a Mac? Thanks to NLUG I escaped Microsoft penitentiary. Thanks for the monthly meetups; they benefit me greatly.
