They should not be worried, they should be educated.

If you worry a new user enough they'll go back to Windows or Apple because there's less scary warnings there.

We need to make the transition as pain free as possible. Learning about the joys of kernel compilation and SELinux can come later.
The first step is "Hey, this is as usable as Windows, without stupid ads in the start menu.

Sounds quite similar to Markov chains which made me think of this story:

Still gets a snort out of me every time Markov chains are mentioned.

Oh, they're putting a lot of thought into it I'm sure.

That thought being "Money, Money, Money, Profit, Profit" of course.

There should be an external hard drive full of portable game installs in some drawer that fits the time period.

Should easily kill a week.

Ah, you "work" in "marketing"?

Wow, that sounds like a decent start for an architecture.

I'm tempted to spin up a few Jellyfin instances to see how it might work...

JellyFed(eration) would be awesome. It should use an anonymous overlay network so federation is not limited to people you trust in copyright-zealous jurisdictions.

That's the equivalent of leaving the door open and hanging a sign "Internet over there" pointing at a wall.

Programs don't need to respect those registry keys. If you're worried about internet access, set up a firewall.

Also, if you're worried about malware, the damage is probably done before anything connects to the internet.

B stands for Billion (Parameters) IIRC
