Most Linux distros these days are more usable and less complicated than Windows. It’s not difficult for most people to get it to do the things they need it to do. This view that Linux doesn’t have the software selection or features comparable to an Enterprise Operating System ™️ like Windows is largely outdated and misguided.
No one is suggesting anyone shouldn’t try it.
Mkay, sure, uh huh. You’re being awfully discouraging without explicitly telling people not to try Linux, but c’mon, we know what you’re doing.

Abso-fuckin-lutely not. You’re just lying.

It isn’t.

I am not discouraging anything. I am being realistic. You are not.
LOL, I probs shouldn’t feed the trolls, but here goes nothing.

We just bought a new PC. And because my family members are kind of adamant on using Windows, we will probably install the latest iteration that M$ has offered.
Funny enough, I am also the techie within the family. As such, I am expected to set it up so that it works as conveniently as possible.
Oh boy… From my reading on the subject, it seems to have become a gargantuan effort to rid Windows 11 of all of its anti-consumer mishaps. Only after doing so, can I actually start setting it up for our use case.
By contrast, if I’d install any beginner-friendly Linux distro, i don’t have to undo anything; setting up starts right after the installation.
I can’t fathom why anyone would prefer the former over the latter, but please feel free to give your take on the matter.
It isn’t.
Stuff like Bazzite has literally become plug-and-play. And breaking it is harder than your average Windows install.
As for software: WinBoat is a very easy (almost) one-click installable piece of software that bridges whatever gap you’re imagining.

The setup process in Windows is nothing but clicking buttons in a GUI. The same cannot be said for most Linux distributions. At minimum they require a software update to even function properly, and there’s no unified way to do this. Good fucking luck looking it up and not finding a bunch of terminal commands that no one even sees fit to explain how to use. And even if they did they probably wouldn’t work on your distro.
The setup process is not the problem. I don’t know why you’re still pretending to not understand why it’s difficult to use.

LOOOOLOLOL it is absolutely not. There’s even like 5 steps in the guided installer and each of them is incredibly convoluted. You’re still lying.

K you wanna try and actually substantiate any of your points, or are you just going to continue to give a “nuh uh, you’re wrong I’m right” argument?
I could but as a Linux user there’s no way you don’t already know this. You’re just in denial.
Could you? I don’t believe you.
