    Interesting how most comments state gaming is the only thing pushing linux adoption back. May be true… for gamers.

    But yeah, granny probably wouldn’t notice Mint if all she does is browser the web.

      Granny doesn’t need a PC anymore. That’s what’s hurting Microsoft more than anything and why they’re desperate to generate more Windows revenue.

      Smartphones and tablets have eliminated the need for 3 PCs per household. Linux is growing in market share, but that has more to do with the number of new Windows machines decreasing than a massive growth in Linux.

        put my parents on a auto update and locked down Ubuntu after having to repair their malware ridden laptop for the thousands time. Haven’t heard a complaint in 2 years now, all they do is login and click the Firefox logo anyway.
