We live in weird age, where using Windows is becoming harder than Linux (even though it has its own issues).

We've been there for a long time.

Broadly speaking, outside of some specific niche workflows, Linux has been pretty easy for a long time, and Windows has a lot of unintuitive stuff that we only think is easy because we're used to it.

Linux and Windows certainly both have their failings, but it feels like Linux's generally stem from the lack of full time developers on projects, whereas failings in Windows often feel like a deliberate user-hostile choice.
