The definition of the word << problem >> is worth a debate, not my
difference of opinion with L or T.
Many times the word < problem > stands for : Lack of experience of
.......something.
Many times the word problem gets used by people who want to be spoon-fed ( this is not
distro related )
Regardless, I personal look at most problems as a challenge !
But I also agree with " wanting a comfortable computer experience " etc etc.
That's why I update PCLinuxOS for my wife's daily use no more than once a year.
Have a nice day

That's true, this is not a debate. It's people describing their experiences
with operating systems. I've tried several builds and found some were easier to use
than others.
Right now I'm having both minor and major issues with my current OS,
so rather than spending hours trying to make it work I'm trying a different one that
so far has some features I want. Like older versions of apps and KDE3.

you got into trouble disparaging pclinux, will be interested to see
how that debate plays out but I'm wholly with you about the 'quiet
life', an operating system should be like a graceful host, after the
introductions they get out of the way so the show can go on. Debian
does that for me.
F. Wonder why Debian is so appreciated still in
2014. On PCLinuxOS,
98% of the time all of your hardware is auto-configured.
Horses for courses, Alexandre. I administered PCLOS for a couple of
years for my husband and granddaughter. There were good points, but
I didn't particularly like it long term. Of course, I haven't
actually run it for a while, so I may be out of date, but the same, I
suspect, applies to your experience of Debian.
As I get older, the attraction of a quiet life grows greater. I now
administer four boxen: 3 desktops and one laptop. All four run
Debian 7 and TDE 3.5.13.2. All 4 users/owners are happy.
