folks who think Linux is too complicated or whatever

At one point this was true, but that was many years ago.

Unfortunately, that reputation has kind of stuck.

The barriers are still too steep. My Ubuntu machine updated it's kernel and then refused to boot after that. I had to look up how to manually lock the old working kernel.

Windows has never completely broken itself on an update for me.

If that happened to my parents they'd be angrily driving to the shop to get another cheap windows laptop.
