Yeah it would probably be great for someone like my mother. She's an expert at breaking her operating system and anything to lock her system down would be helpful. I'm sure there are millions of people who never do much more than read emails, browse the web, and maybe do some spreadsheet work, and it would be great for them too. For me, I like control. I use Arch on my laptop and Pop on my gaming computer so that I'm not constrained by whatever Microsoft or Apple are currently trying to simplify with their OS.

Edit: I also stopped using Windows because it's becoming pretty similar to spyware and adware these days, and every time you turn all that stuff off, they turn it back on with the next update. I reached my wits end about 3-4 years ago and dumped Windows completely for everything except Fusion 360.
