The problems most often experienced by the participants included: "the system was slow," "the system froze temporarily," "the system crashed," "it is difficult to find things."
In case you were wondering what computer problems.
We have far more complex systems than 15 years ago. Complexity has skyrocketed because of human failures in designing optimal, elegant systems, but also because of premature optimisation, convenience, and security.
To top it all off, literacy in computers hasn't necessarily increased for the median user.
But if 15 years ago computers had to be regularly restarted, Windows had notoriously frequent Blue Screen of Death, Linux was not really feasible as a desktop system for most people, today we're doing much better.

We don't like the word immutable. It can confuse people.
Or keep using windows and traditional Linux distros/installs and keep complaining >.>

Edit:
If I came off as know it all computer nerd/ abrasive I apologize.
I'm just really excited by the project.
It exists entirely to end major pain points people are/were suffering from Linux distros. And to prove how easily it is to distribute images and build them utilizing the cloud.
I feel it's utterly ironic to down vote, as it's litterly a solution approach to the entirewasting time fixing my computer issue of the OP post. 😲😔😅
