    I’ve seen this with my Zoomer sister-in-law. She just recently learned how to use Microsoft - their home and school system was entirely Apple. She’s still not great at troubleshooting.

      It’s happening a lot, and I see a lot of boomers using the “haw haw kids stupid” behind it, but it’s not them, it’s the parents fault, and it’s really sad honestly.

      I learned typing in 6th grade, we had computer classes where we learned Microsoft and Mac, we learned how to do word and excel. A lot of that got me ready for office life.

      Now parents and schools just expect that it’s easy, but as we’re seeing they may pick it up faster, but unless they have a need to learn it they won’t. I feel empathy for these kids who are going to be entering the workforce who were failed.

      Generally those systems shouldn’t be too different. If you know one you should get the grasp of the other after using it for a bit. Maybe special settings and stuff can be a bit confusing…
