I'm currently training a new employee who comes from the "My school handed out Chromebooks" generation, and hol...eee...shit... Its frustrating as hell.
Literally every single instruction gets followed up with "no...double click"

I can sympathize from both directions. Teaching my iPad generation nephew to use a Windows PC is a challenge.
At the same time I look like a total incompetent when trying to do anything using the GUI on a Mac. My muscle memory is just plain wrong after 20+ years of Windows and assorted Linux variants I keep clicking in completely the wrong places
Over the last 40 years I've used Mac, Windows and various Linux desktops as well as the Atari desktop called GEM (used it in an early music studio), Amiga and BeOS. Probably a few more over the years.
I always go back to Windows because it has support for pretty much everything I throw at it and the OS isn't as bad as nerds want you to believe. Yeah, it crashes and gets unstable from time to time, but EVERYTHING does.

** Debian enters the chat **
Debian can be just unstable as everything else. Sorry.
Haven't seen it. Only with NVidia stuff. And we all know why that is. I've been rock solid since my twenties. Come at me, bro!
OS religious fanatics are weird, bro.
Point to where the .deb package hurt you.
Points at Debian users
These fucking weirdos who make their OS their personality. It's just a fucking OS. It's not your waifu pillow.
