I get it but sometimes you gotta make the medicine a bit sweet so the concentrated fly vinegar oil goes down at all

I have had so much more trouble with Windows than Linux.

Back when I was first trying Linux out on my parent’s PC a decade ago, I’d have agreed. But these days it’s legitimately easy. I’ve got Mint XFCE on an ancient Toshiba from 2014, Nobara on my gaming system and Fedora on my main laptop, and all of them just work. I installed Linux and the only maintenance is updates, no fresh installs or anything, and they’re all still working years later. I recently updated to Windows 11 on my Mum’s PC and it took me an hour and a half. She also frequently messages me to ask for support. I wish I could convince her to move to Linux too…

Funny you say that.I install both from time to time. And find windows mutch more a Hassel to install. When you want a local install with windows you first have to prep the whole ISO inject a unattended.XML file before install. Sometimes that’s not enough and windows will force choose the edition requiring even more work on the ISO preparation. Linux you boot and click true to non invasive menu and it just installs. Yes their are ways to open cmd but not all work anymore and Microsoft is slowly shouting that door.

You are just able to say that because you spend 100+$ on the pre-installed OS. You could also spend the same amount for an IT person to install you linux and then have a very stable time anyways. Linux doesn’t force you to update, if something breaks you don’t need to interact with it. On many distros there are system backups preconfigured, if something breaks you can roll back pretty easily. There is a trade-off, ease of use and ease of fix. Linux is way easier to use, thanks to no bloat and package manager, but slightly harder to fix when a problem occurs, because you have to interact with the system. And to be honest, the system isn’t as scary. Documentation is often enough, but if you are lazy and want the fix currated there is AI to help you.
