That's fair enough although I'd argue some desktop environments and Linux distributions are usable very easily. Remember that people like grandma are using "the operating system as a bootloader for the browser" and if they can open Chrome or Firefox they're good.

That being said when writing my response I admittedly had you in mind as the user who simply wanted to save money.

Well I do want to save money, but I'm not interested in a Chromebook for myself. My mother-in-law swears by hers though.
