I'd say it works such that any mildly technically competent person can use it.

The problem is that I know The absolute surface level nature of most people's technical ability.

The dual file system nature of winboat would probably cause you issues. All you have to do is save your work to the folder that you have shared between both os's, but equally, I know full well the majority of computer users don't know what a file or directory structure is.

    Can confirm it works and is great. I'm even running a Glados voice pack on it that insults me while it cleans.

    Only issue I've had the whole time was actually this week when I finally updated the valetudo re version to support the new home assistant MQTT format and the update got stuck but that was an easy fix once I worked out what it was.

    My biggest issue with the vote was that Brexit didn't win.

    48% votes to remain and 52% percent votes for 6 different and often mutually exclusive relationships. Which was proven as soon as negotiations began and why there should have been a vote on the final deal which would have certainly failed. But instead people voting for a Norway model or a Swiss model all got counted alongside the lunatics that would have physically dragged the UK further into the Atlantic to get away from Europe given the chance.

    It wasn't 48% Vs 52%, it was 48% vs 8% and 8% and 8% .......

    It depends on the level of mistrust you're willing to entertain but the short version is; no, you cannot be sure.

    Ken Thompson's 1983 talk, Reflections on trusting trust is the classic talk on just why you cannot be sure.

    The point, is that people don't like thinking about this subject, as evidenced by the fact that half of people don't put plans in place even when it's something as comparatively simple as a will unless they get more imminent prior warning. This is not a Linux kernel specific issue, Bram and vim being an obvious example. Something as potentially complicated as the Linux kernel succession? I can see why it wouldn't be a subject the community was keen to tackle.
