      Yeah, I just wanted to say that if anyone says “this distro is a bit older but it’s really stable and good for use” it’s scaring away people without them even needing it updated since they’re used to getting told by Microsoft that “you have to to update to the newest”

      The point about updating apps is also useless to them, as long as it works they will use it, my dad used windows xp with office 2003 until 2021 when the computer finally died, I told him countless times to update to a newer os but he refused every single time

        That may be true for some users but there are those in decent quality looking for a more technical experience. Development comes to mind; you probably should use the latest versions in some cases.

          Yeah, but developers probably already know what is Linux, either from them learning about it at school or just by other developers

          But developers probably already know something about their os, they don’t just use what they get on a computer or a laptop, most of us probably messed with some deep settings of whatever system we use, i. e. something that a regular user won’t do
