Say a friend is looking for a new system, and said person is not particularly savvy with technology, what system would you point them toward?

    Because it’s expensive as shit, especially for a new user.

    If you introduce any system to a person not familiar with computers, they’re a blank canvas and won’t need to change paradigms for their mental model. Great chance for Linux to shine. Just install an easy desktop environment, and a simple distribution. They’ll probably need a bit of hand holding at first but that’s what you’re there for as the friend having recommended their OS in the first place.
