Not so, it was true for my 86-year-old mom. I installed Linux Mint and put the Chrome browser icon on her desktop, and that was all she used. She only checked e-mails and browsed like Facebook, etc. Every month or so when I went to visit, I’d just run the updater. Never broke and I never really had to do anything. The reason why I put it on, was her PC was getting old, and Windows was getting super slow. So it was win-win. She did not even know it was Linux.
Yeah, but Mint is completely free and doesnt come with much of the software bloat that might be confusing to an older person. It’s a simple user experience by design.

That is why Linux is good for a lot of people.
