Honestly, if you have used tech like in desktops long enough, you should already have Linux experience and hate Windows, like if you even have the slightest idea to modify your desktop, good luck with that on Windows, as instability occurs because Microsoft really wants you to use their shittier UI/UX.
Never underestimate Windows users ability to put up with garbage to justify not learning anything new.
They do edit registery files and do all sorts of painful workarounds but linux is too much apparently (for the sort of windows user I mentioned at least)
Look, I use Linux but I am not good at it. I do not like having to use the terminal, and I probably never will like it. But good God, editing text config files or using a terminal command to change a setting are both so much less painful than the bloody Windows Registry. I don't necessarily like Linux. But I really hate Windows. So.
The things I have watched my mother put up with from her computer... yeah, checks out.
I don't even like Linux that much, I just hate Windows a lot more.
