Completely agreed. Contrary to popular belief, my experience is that the elderly get along better with Linux than most people. The elderly typically memorize exactly how to do what they want to do. They learn to click this, click that, and get what they want without taking any deviations. And Kubuntu is nice because each update doesn't change their workflow.

Considering that most elderly that I've met do their entire workflow through the browser, that just adds to the ease of moving to Linux.
