I don't agree with this anymore!!! Linux, presently, it's an easy OS. You don't have to get to the CLI if you don't want to. If you're "just" a simple user you can just live in the GUI like in windows and get on with it!!!
With Windows you can just download an app.
With MacOS you sometimes need to pick between Intel or Apple Silicon.
For Linux you invariably have to navigate list of Deb or RPM, perhaps TarGz files, maybe a torrent or two.
Sticking with apt can lead to a list of issues of ensuring you have the right dependencies.
Let’s start before that : With Windows the OS usually comes pre installed, with Macs, always.
Linux - with one to pick? Ubuntu, PopOS, Elementary?
Oh, so you picked Ubuntu - congratulations - now which DE? Or should you pick a derivative such as Mint first?
I’m a huge fan of Linux servers - I think they’re so easy to work with on a server level even with many of the same issues I described above and I’m actively ripping out every Windows server in our environment and replacing it with Linux.
But I still, after all these years, can’t seem to pick a Desktop Linux platform that I feel comfortable with. And this after 40 years in the industry.
