But how is it easy to use? It's easy to use once it's set up I guess, as long as you don't touch it. But again, most people will need to touch it I feel like, to install some software or something like that. Even if all you do is update every now and then, I have had updates that just completely break things, forcing me to roll back to a Timeshift snapshot, multiple times. I wouldn't call that easy to use.

I mean, I guess if your family had no major problems, they had no major problems. I just can't figure out how they would've managed that.

What Mint install did you have that had that many issues? Installing apps has been easy for a long time already, just open the app store and pick what you need. Updates is the same thing: app store > update. Whenever something breaks for some reason, there are auto-created rollbacks on the boot menu. My partner is far from being a techie and they managed every daily operation without needing help from my part.

I think we had vastly different experiences, probably because of hardware or release differences, but I never saw the kind of issues you're commenting :/
