Here’s me then conceding to the fact that Linux is much harder to use than Windows - when anything goes wrong. Most people can barely even use windows properly, so no, Linux is out of the question for the majority unless they only ever use a web browser.
For people like me however, Linux IS easier to use, which is why the same type of people easily fall into the trap of assuming everyone can be like them.
Your personal experience and how you use the operating system is utterly irrelevant. My point wasn’t an opinion. It is simple fact. Linux requires more steps to get anything done. There is fewer options for ease of use/ease of access. The fact that terminal interactions are required to move a folder is proof of my point.
Linux is a more complicated Operating System and has absolutely zero benefit to the average computer user.
Don’t know why you keep ignoring that simple reality. If it was easier to use/as supported then don’t you think that a free operating system would be more popular? The thing holding it back is the OS itself. Fucking Chrome OS has overtaken most Linux Distros in how commonly installed it is. Simply because it’s just easier to use.
Y’all can keep lying to yourselves and everyone else but you don’t get to be upset when someone points out your horseshit.
Chrome OS is literally built on the Linux kernel and you’re saying it’s simpler lmao. It overtook because Google created their own entire class of laptop devices undercutting the price of most entry level options, preinstalled with ChromeOS.
More steps to get anything done is not correct, the entire reason I use Linux at work is because it takes less steps to get things done than Windows.
Installing Firefox on windows:
Open browser
Search for Firefox
Click result
Find and click download button
Click .exe
Click yes on security dialog
Click next a bunch of times (I’ll be fair and make this a single step)
Launch
On Linux (assuming it isn’t installed by default on your distro):
Open terminal
sudo apt install Firefox
type ‘y’
Launch
At least double the amount of steps if you don’t include launching the browser. You’re talking absolute shit saying it’s ‘simple fact’ when I could give many other examples that objectively prove your statement false.
Is it more difficult to use for the average user? Sure. Is it more difficult for everyone? No.

Once again, y’all completely misunderstand.
