This is where we say switch to Linux, right?

The problem is like that xkcd comic about experts underestimating the common person's knowledge in their field. Linux is still not user friendly enough for the vast majority of people. Linux users just don't seem to understand that most people are in the "wtf is a distro?" level of knowledge and would absolutely panic at the mere sight of a terminal.

It’s not “linux”’s job to be userfriendly, it’s up to the distro. Look at android, steam deck and chromebooks, three very userfriendly linux distros. Now we just need some billion dollar company to do what google and valve did with those for a desktop and we’re good to go.
