[PLUG] Linux for non-computer person

[Michael Barnes]

I have set up a number of "non-computer" people on Mint. Initial stock
install, set up Thunderbird for email, Firefox for a browser, and
LibreOffice for word processing. Appropriate icons on task bar. That's all
they use, nothing else needed. Don't have to worry about package managers,
updates, or much of anything else. With LTS releases, typically good for
the life of the computer. Some of them have no idea they are not using
Windows. One user did call me a while back and asked what version of
Windows she was using, because someone asked her. They were curious when
she told them her computer has never crashed. I told her Windows-L. She
said "Cool" and went on.  All are very happy campers.
