First, because "untechie" users neither have to install Windows nor
MacOS
as both usually come along with the computer in a pre-installed form

they only have to provide some basic data.
Yes, a couple have made this point, but from my own personal experience,
it's not the case.
I am not what you could call 'financially endowed' and always obtained
older and, in many cases, in complete boxes.
I couldn't afford the brand new OEM boxes, so always had to install
Windows, when I used it, myself.
I had to buy that.

Nothing anywhere near as complex as an expert Debian install, which is

Not to the point of being one of the 'High-Riders', but I'm getting
