It's not really different from choosing among 32 bit or 64 bit programs, or even, for Linux software choosing the package that's best for your distribution. It's not really a pain point. People can read. People who use Windows and Linux know how computers work. People are smart. People should not be babysat by their operating systems. It's gonna be OK. Don't worry.

Well, one guy I work with, I've had to install DraftSight for him on three computers now.

In my head I think "Google download draftsight, click click, how hard is that?", then I remember some of the guys I work with csn hardly read but at least this guy can draw rectangles in DraftSight.

I put Linux on my SOs laptop, she llove it, but I still have to remind her to install updates occasionally.

The right balance for notifications, nagware, user interaction, download and installing things, is hard.

There was literally a post about this on HN yesterday [0]. I'll accept that people using Linux are better at computers. But Windows is too broad in terms of user skill.
