One year on Linux, two distros, a few tears, four desktop environments, and zero regrets about leaving Windows.

    The average user doesn’t install windows though. They buy the pc/laptop with Windows on it already, and use it till it’s in the ground.

    And I cannot just install ubuntu/mint on a laptop for someone and walk away either, cause if/when anything breaks, the fix isn’t approachable. And trying to tell someone to use the CLI when they’re not tech savvy is not user friendly.

      Thanks for confirming my point. Windows isn’t easier to operate, it just comes preinstalled.

      Nor is it likely to be manageable for that user to fix issues on Windows
