Yes you are. There is no one in the modern world who does not regularly use a computer. That's like saying "My car broke down, but I'm not a car toucher so I'm just going to complain instead of getting a new one." Or "I'm not an appliance toucher and I don't want to learn a new toaster so I'm just going to keep the one that smokes if it is set on 2."
This is not an excuse. Choosing to be ignorant is how you get mistakes like Windows 11 in the first place. So I will continue to proselytize Linux until people understand there is a better option and that they can demand better.
This, I don't want to rag on anyone ranting, but at some point not learning a bit about the powerful devices that run many aspects of the world and your life and that you likely spend hours a day on is just incuriousness
I'm not saying everyone needs to be 1337 haxx0r assembly coder, but knowing basic terms(I'm sure a lot of people here have done tech support for older family and become incredibly frustrated, and heard stuff like 'what's a folder?' or referring to a browser as 'the internet') and how to trouble shoot should be common knowledge
