I am not anyone's spokesperson, but I have contemporaries (bipeds between 55 and 70 years old) who understand absolutely nothing about handling a register, who do not know what a BIOS is, and who however need a computer because this tool has become essential. The observation of the veteran that I am (I started in the heroic days of Win 3.11) is that far from simplifying the use of a bike, the OS designers (Linux included) have taken great pleasure in complicating it. here. Some boomers I know have moved towards Android tablets, which are more “user-friendly” let's say, and to the more in-the-know people around me, I recommend the light versions of W10/11, not always very official (legal?) but where are these good people find themselves there like in the bygone days of W7, which did not include fifteen apps that the average user does not necessarily need (surfing, checking emails, saying hello to family on social networks) and that We cannot uninstall without making the system unstable. I think that at Crosoft, they missed out on market share by neglecting this type of user looking for simplicity.
