Not the person you were talking to, but I used my computer for browsing, development and a few steam games. I'm not trying to do rocket science. You know what seemed to fuck up my system? The system/software updater. Maybe the graphics drivers, but maybe not. That's pretty basic bitch level Linux.

That said, Chromebooks are fine for the demographic you are taking about, and those are Linux.
