I’m with you on this. As Zaps said right above you … “from an age when I had the curiosity and patience to figure stuff out” has a lot of bearing. BUT, I’m an “old dog” and I’ve taught myself a lot of programs. What they NEED is to create a bunch of video tutorials like Adobe did. I have my own problems with Adobe, but I use their programs for work and am still learning how some of them work. I don’t always get it on the first, third or tenth watch … but being able to rewind, pause and watch videos over really helps when things aren’t “adult friendly”. I once tried Linux. When I was not a child, but much younger. I never got past loading it for the reasons everyone mentions. I was proud that I got that far, but that was as far as I could get without someone to help me.
