Looks like make money from views clickbait.
I have moved a number of users, ages from very young to 60 plus,
with one exception all have succesfully done a guided install and majority are still on linux after more than
one year.
At present still antiX 19.4 ICEWM, one case, 60 Plus years old on MX, she is somewhat difficult, even an icon changing
makes her think of the crashes and trouble win gave her. At first she was very uncertain, now she does her work and play
without fussing.Your little kid can do a full disk antix install and setup a system with some encouragement and help.
Youtube is a mine of information, unfortunately also a ton of crap.

Oh, I’ve joined your forum just to post my thoughts on this question. I think, that Linus and his friend (forgot his name) want Linux to behave and work like Windows in all aspects (installation, customization, etc.). But you and I know that it’s not going to happen. He started his voyage into the Linux world with a semi-obvious question: is Linux suitable for an average user? And the short answer is – YES. Why – you can ask. Based on my experience, most of their time around PC average user spend in browser: YouTube, Facebook, Reddit, torrent – sites, etc. Rarely these days do people use standalone apps because you can call people through, let’s say, Google Hangouts or some Skype – web thingy. Isn’t Linux capable of this? I think that it is capable of running a bunch of browsers. And then Linus, as an average user, decided to stream gaming. Why though? Do you stream every time you’re playing? I don’t think so. I’m not white knighting Linux, but it’s kinda dumb to shift the focus of view from everyday experience (including gaming) to streaming. Then his friend decided to record his face in real-time through his fancy camera. Do you do that every day? Do you know a lot of people (Linux users) that record themselves that way?! I surely don’t. His review is all over the place, and it’s not about an average gaming experience. I, to say the truth, don’t know what is it about.
