Thats fair, i shouldn't have brought age into it. Sorry. My partner is mid 30s, and I dont think she would find Linux usable either, its certainly not an age thing. Again, sorry for any offence.

I'm not trying to say that Linux isnt usable, it obviously is for many people (myself included), but for "most people", i dont think it is "Best". Specifically, the tech adverse crowd are not going to have a pleasant time without external support, and they make up a large portion of the population. Its silly though, to try claim a "best". Windows is the clear popularity leader of OSs, but if all other OSs were to disappear except for Windows, it wouldnt take long for the next Linus/Terry Davis to bring out something that suits them better.

Sorry for rambling :)

I 100% agree on Medium though, complete nuisance of a site to use. Content is usually not worth it either.
