alt Hacker NewsI cannot even install a Windows system with a local account anymore without having to open the terminal and enter some obscure commands.
A modern Debian or Fedora with KDE is a breeze otoh, I set that up for relatives and my SO, and they're all more than happy with it. Bugs exist, like in all software, but the friction is way less compared to wrangling with Windows nowadays.
Yep but you can also bet that they're not going to use a local account. They'll link it all to Microsoft.
