Similar experience here: I had maybe a dozen or more people using openbsd computers in a weekly classroom for several months, where I had set it up to be convenient for their use (basically xfce, & icons pointing to preset browser destinations), and they were happy enough, but they weren't going to manage any of it themselves (with one possible exception). So sometimes it depends on the perceived cost/benefit and how it goes with their personal usage patterns. -- Please pray for our country(ies) and leaders, at this important time.
