About a month ago I built a desktop for a very elderly friend.
He had never used a computer before in his life.
I installed LL 3.2 on it and spent a couple of days with him showing him how to use desktop/email/browsing ect.
Went to see him yesterday to upgrade him to LL 3.4 and asked how he was doing.
He is emailing his grandchildren surfing you tube ect.
Yes..........Linux is hard to use. :)

Great work Jocklad :) helping your friend get online and using Linux.
I think Linux is not difficult in some ways too, it is about the same for setting up email, Firefox, and using them.
It is easier to update Linux, as people don't need to do OS and software 1 at a time, and reboot each time.

Lets not forget all the hard work that goes on behind the scene to keep Linuxlite up to date and functional.
