It really depends what you grew up with I guess.

As someone originally coming off of RISC OS[1] way back when, the mac way is closer to intuitive than the windows way, while Linux's approach of splitting files across the entire FS so that you can't possibly find all of them is "The Real WTF".

(Nixos is even further from that original intuition in a lot of ways. Oh for the days of drag-dropping the !App dir to wherever you happen to have space; and maybe dragging it to !menon if you needed to actually find it back )

Chapter 1 introduces what a desktop is; Chapter 2 explains the mouse; 3 Explains the keyboard ; 4 explains what a window is. Give a motivated naive user this guide and there's a small chance they might actually grok the thing when they're done.
