My point exactly. I've watched people break down over the start menu changing, or being unable to do anything after switching to a Mac. If you think the average person will go through this shit you're mistaken...but I'd expect nothing less from Lemmy. It's a bit like Slashdot from 20 years ago...
I had to explain to users where to find the windows key or how to start a search in the start menu.
Many can't comprehend typing if there is not a textbox...
