Weird company to target, these days I feel like Windows PC users are on average far on the "knowledgeable" side of the spectrum, not as far as Unix system users of course.

Apple and mobile OS users are the ones who know nothing about their system.

Yeah like at least windows gives you an error code, Macs basically just say "uh-oh, we did a fucky wucky and your device has failed, contact apple" and now your stuck searching up the exact text and trouble shooting a dozen potential issues and dozens more potential fixes.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
