Knowing and using are two different things. A person can drive a Ford pickup and Rolls Royce and still have no idea how an internal combustion engine works.

I quote what I wrote: "They usually know TWO operating systems because the vast majority of the have come from using Windows, or still use Windows at work."

Did you even bother to read what I wrote??? You quoted me completely out of context.

No, I understood it fine. What I’m saying is you don’t have to be some tekno-uber geek to **use** an OS. It’s “point and click”.
Now, if you’re looking for a even safer OS, you have to go to Linux. But even when I use it on my PC (my PCs are always dual-boot, Win & Linux) I used a premium anti-malware product.
With Windows and Linux - and Android (Linux-based) a user can get under the hood and they have to know what’s what. With Apple, you can’t even pop the hood open. You have to turn it over to Apple.
Unless ya got a couple of free years to tinker with it, maybe:
