@danirabbit @ariadne @Sobex I expect you're selling something more like my mom's 2011 iMac that wasn't running so well anymore, and she had newer computers, so asked me to fix it up before giving it away to one or another of the immigrant families our temple helps. I thought elementaryOS was the right choice for that, so on it went.
I don't think those new arrivals will have strong opinions about operating systems, but they'll need a smooth first-run experience, and elementaryOS sure has sanded that down for them.
