Author doesn’t even compare it to a second solution.
Interesting to know, but I just use a hot key to attempt reconfiguration if something goes wrong. Works for me even if it’s not a sign Linux is ready for non-technical users.

Using hot keys is nice, but hot keys (intentionally) don’t work while my screen is locked. I contemplated mapping an xrandr call onto a smart button (Shelly Button 1, essentially triggering an HTTP request), but in the end grobi has the same effect and is even more convenient than having to press buttons.
That was the point GP was trying to make (a bit snarkily and sarcastically) in response to the argument that Linux is not suitable for nontechnical users.
I think that this is the bulk of the argument here.
I think it can, because even if there is an issue on Windows, it's likely still going to be much easier to resolve than on Linux, e.g. no editing files, no command prompt, etc.
yes, bribery and lobby. Remember where Gates went to Munich to "convince" the city council that Microsoft Windows is better than Limux ?
Linux is out of the running entirely except for people that need nothing more than a browser and media player.
MacOS has a kooky paradigm that people get used to, but isn't as intuitive as the classic launcher menu and task bar approach.
Windows had a ton of issues, and not particularly user friendly error messages for a while, but since XP it's been the leader in usability.
Of course with 11 they are really doing all they can to throw all that away...
No, just normal Microsoft prioritizing features over fixing bugs. I have a "shit_win_bugs" bookmarks folder which is growing in size every 1-2 months.
