Pretty much. Good-looking out of the box with a somewhat familiar interface.

You are probably right. Let's say "people with friends"

Is there any logical reason why you would fucking say that post is underrated? Has anybody expressed any kind of dissatisfaction or criticism at all against it? Are you delusional? Are you reading replies that are nonexistant? Maybe you come from communities with voting systems, but there is literally no way that you could know what other people think of that post you just replied to here. Maybe it's psychological. Maybe it's your own post you're replying to, like a 12 year old fucktard liking his own facebook posts thinking his swelling autism is going unnoticed. Maybe your self esteem depends on you tricking yourself into thinking someone out there thinks your post is worth something. Or maybe you are just a retard, the worst kind of retard, the one who thinks he's smart, the one who thinks he's the only one to have gotten the joke, to have understood the post. Well, guess what, faggot, that post is by no definition underrated so why don't you do the world a favour and go check out what the bottom of your toilet smells like?

Yes op, tech level normal persons use mint or ubuntu. But normal normal people mostly use os x.

And there is another normal person distro called zorin. Just check it out.
>>
>>53891240
Probably.

If I set up a computer for an old relative or co-worker, I usually go for Mint. Of course, after prodding them about usage so I'm 100% certain it will do what they need.

So far everyone is happy.

Mint is shit.
Based on Ubuntu but somehow much worse performance and zero advantages.

Ubuntu mate is best for beginners since it can be setup to look like windows very easily and offers much better performance than mint or windows.

there's a fair amount of downtime at work so it's normal to browse stuff. But the more it looks like you're fucking around the more likely the bosses will invent busywork. The point is to make it less conspicuous.

No man, sys admins are the daemons of system realms, we're ultimate, we don't need white/black mage knowledge brah, admins can jump privileges and go straight thru the problem.

TL;DR Nope, and -legit- sysadmins got true power, there's no place for normal in it.

To me it offers some really great workflow benefits. I can customize the user interface to exactly suit the way I want to use it.

If you have any niche needs then Linux will probably have a solution for it. For example, wanting to play audio on a computer through the network is something that is done a lot easier on Linux than on other systems.

90% of linux users are normal people who use it as a hobb, the 10% can list real reasons to use it

>Any OS can be used to claim someone is not normal.

>Anything related to computer system tech development and marketing is solely responsible for abnormalities in people then, because if it gets to the level nobody is normal regardless of what system they use, reason, movement, or so on, then we're pretty much fucked, might as well run some OS A.I. like from the movie Her, let her become a waifu and let [spoiler]her remove herself from the system.[/spoiler] Sorry, I don't know if /g/ has spoiler or remember how to use it properly.
