lots of great software is written in higher level languages than you're probably capable of ever reading

English isn't apparently among them.

ironic. Not being expert in Your flavor of Your language is prejudged, so the clear message is ignored.

I suppose if I was a regular windows user it would be different... the clumsy and non intuitive part. BUT it is so damned S L O W. W7 is slow also but I think W10 is even slower. (LMDE Mate user)

Open source can be desirable. However, as we've seen in the recent acquisition of FoundationDB by Apple, without a strong foundation to serve as a home for the project, open source software is in danger of both poor code quality or being taken private and yanked by a proprietary buyer.

true. however experience has shown that ALL software (open and propitiatory) are subject to crude work, poor support, and/or NSA nuggets

"Do you have kids? I do.

Good move. My wife had similar complaints. I went one step better and also installed LMDE on her laptop. after configuring it to look identical to her Mint I set it as her default boot OS. >>> she did not notice the change at all. after a couple weeks I asked how she liked. she thought a bit and replied "I did notice that there were no updates needed, but I thought maybe you were doing that for me." LMDE = Stable. next spring LMDE2 will be even more stable.
