Linux. It's more the same than different and everyone learns fast :)
Most mainstream distros are no harder to learn than Windows or macOS. People (especially as they get older) are just averse to relearning how to do things.
I replaced my father in laws win XP with ubuntu and more recently ubuntu with mint and he barely noticed.
Here is your browser, adjust volume here, no problem.
It seems scary at first, but if you just let go of the things you learned with Windows, you'll see it's a lot better. It just takes some getting used to, and it can be frustrating at first if you don't fully understand. You may be tempted to find an alternative, but this is not always the way. Just accepting that it's different is a good first step
Do the commands CTRL+C, CTRL+X, CTRL+Z, and CTRL+V work the same?
If so, I'm in.
Yeah, in most places. Welcome aboard :)
Absolutely they do!
