No issues really. They had used Windows machines at school as well as chromebooks so they were not married to any single interface. For them the GUI was a way to open a browser or art program. It was the tools that mattered.
The “issues” that the OP even refers to are usually not so much real issues, but rather a person simply trying to learn.
Very much agree. In a lot of cases the problems people encounter are just a different and therefor unfamiliar way of doing things. This can sometimes be remedied by finding a GUI that is more similar to what they are familiar with, but this is also likely a different and unfamiliar task :)
PopOS or Mint are the way to go for users who dont want to fiddle with their computer. Stick to the default package manager and let it do the work for you and problems will be rare.
My children ran Mint desktops for years without issue or complaint. When I bought them new laptops though I decided to let them run the default Windows.
With that said everyone in my town has been incredibly kind and welcoming of me and my family. We are native english speakers from the US and white though so we can pass for local as long as we dont say "prah-cess" instead of "pro-cess" or talk about the weather in Freedom Degrees instead of Celsius.
That price has to come down by at least 50% before most people could consider building one. I have space on my side yard to put a suite with parking and everything, but there is no way I can afford that price tag.
I started playing Minecraft with Alpha 1.1 so I might actually have some archived antique versions somewhere. It has been years since you could just DL the game and play it though, so even the latest of those would be terribly out of date and missing many features. Better off at this point moving to Minetest-Mineclone 2 and avoid all the hassle.
I have a copy in my collection still. They were the butt of many an unfair joke, but they were actually quite good. Perhaps they were just ahead of their time.
Three days of battery would greatly increase the expense of new construction at a time when everywhere is trying to bring prices down. The battery capacity you would have to have, especially if you use electric heating, would be very high and therefor very expensive. Looking at some quick numbers online solar and battery like that would easily add ca$100k to a construction project.
