Nah, I've got a zoomer relative that has learned helplessness around computers. They have their own computer for gaming and need me to hold their hand through everything. I tell them to web search, they say they don't understand what anything means, so I have to hold their hand through web searching to fix their problem. If something doesn't work from steam when they double click it, they can't figure it out. They get an error message at any point and their only solution is to bug someone else about it. I refuse to solve their problem without telling them to web search it, that is how you are supposed to learn. It's super annoying so I started telling them "idk, google it." They still bug others instead now.
I also have a zoomer friend older than my relative that is also a PC gamer, they are slightly better but still need people to guide them through screen share.
Fair enough, but if they can navigate a gui that's good enough for most workplaces.
