One area Linux is not user friendly is a simple-to-use Senior edition.
I think this is an instance problem of Accessibility.

I've found I can't set the font to a larger size without hassles and
troubles. Even if you manage to increase the font size for the
particular desktop, the boot and login screens don't honor the
settings.

It would be nice to set the font size in one place, and have it used
everywhere. For senior citizens and visually impaired users.
