GNU/Linux Desktops with No User Knowledge Needed (Video)
Joey Amanchukwu is co-founder and CEO of Transforia, a company that leases computers pre-loaded with Red Hat Enterprise Linux -- a distro choice that may have been made at least partly because Joey used to sell for Red Hat.
There have been other companies that tried to sell Linux desktops and laptops on a "don't worry about a thing; we'll administer them for you, no problem" basis. Not a lot (maybe none) of those companies have survived, as far as we know. Will Transforia manage to make it big? Or at least become profitable? We'll see.

> how does one magically learn all the special cryptic commands to recompile their kernels and make their audio and or video work correctly? hmmm seems like you might like jumping to conclusions
They do exactly what they would do if they were running Windows. They get their local Linux user to bail them out.
You would not believe what a pain an old printer is with Win10. Un-f*cking-believable. It's like I can never set my expectations low enough with Microsoft.
As far as your trolling nonsense goes...
I haven't compiled a kernel since the 2.0 days.
I haven't had issues with video or audio in a scratch Linux install since before Ubuntu 6.
Not that either of these would be a problem in a preloaded system. It "just works" for the same reason a pre-loaded Windows box does. Someone else did the work for you.
A Pirate and a Puritan look the same on a balance sheet.
