I doubt most non-enthusiast users of Windows can troubleshoot their own problems. All desktop operating systems require some knowledge to poke around and fix things. The only reason Windows gets a pass is due to its market share and support from vendors.

I'm sure if you have a problem from a piece of software running on Linux that is supported by a vendor and asked for help, you would get it.

Fair, but that does not really reflect the HN crowd. That said, at the rate MS is going, ChromeOS is looking like the better deal, and, surprisingly, it has less nagging/ads than Windows does!

Non enthusiasts are forever doomed to M$ nags and App£e premiums then. I'll keep running Linux rather than get annoyed by any of those. Best desktop ever. Even Gnome is highly ergonomic nowadays, more so than MacOS.
