what maintenance? most of the peeps i have using it blindly are just automatically applying recommended updates.

Friend of mine has a System76 laptop and had to talk to their support about issues with the webcam on certain apps. It was fixed but they asked him to check lsusb. This guy only knows the basics of the terminal from me having to teach him.

And what would've Microsoft support said?

"Reinstall drivers, reboot, and pray it starts working!"

Troubleshooting Windows for non-tech people isn't any easier in any way.

I'm not discounting System76's support (hell to my friend Linux is hard, but rewarding), but I am saying that this sort of thing is still alien to the average consumer. I've seen university students not know what a command line is.
