User-friendly Linux distro is a myth.
Unfortunately I have to do both ;n;
... or at least I will have to when I try to get my homemade game engine working on Windowsintoyourbrowsinghistory 11
I'd just rather use Windows and not have to deal with my games not being supported, explaining to people how to print a word document or have to mess with wifi drivers.
Actually Windows is much more convenient to use, if you just log-in everywhere and use it as a "normal human". The thing is we don't like companies taking our lifes, we demand freedom, thats why windows is a hell for us, but for most its convenient.
Left thing is the right thing
Really?
Because nothing I use works in Linux or at least doesn't easily.
My 10 year old Logjtech mouse doesn't work, at all, until I Google how to make it work.
Then there's OneNote, which syncs directly with every machine, no server required.
Or excel - got Tables in Libre office yet? You know, what 97% of people use Excel for?
I could go on for days. At every turn, Linux is inferior to Windows as a desktop.
And I use Linux every day as a server: Truenas, Proxmox, Freedombox, Rpi, etc. It's briliant for purpose-built systems.
There's no beginner friendly Linux OS, but.......if you willing to learn a thing or two about linux (at least know how to install programs, updating system, & install your favorite Windows program on wine bc you can't find equivalent linux program) i think you'll loved Linux so much because it's so flexible.
If you encounter errors, don't worry, there's answer how to fix it, all you need is Google/DuckDuckGo
