Do your elderly family members belong to the aforementioned group of most basic users?

If my that you mean basically tech illiterate and the type of people that asked me to program their VCRs and whose oven always blinks 12:00, then yes. The only reason I do not set them up on Chromebooks is because the hardware sucks.

I am not a Linux elitist. I have run Linux almost from the start (1996), but I also run Windows and Mac. I believe in the motto of "use the best tool for the job" and right now I genuinely believe that Linux distros with cohesive desktop environments are the best choice for the majority of users. Not everyone, but certainly the vast majority of home users that would be affected by the end of Win 10 support.
