> an OS that's actually fun and intuitive for normal people (nevermind me)

That's no version of Windows, in my experience. I suffered through Windows 3.1x to XP to Vista to Window 7 (and tried out Windows 10), and none of these were fun or intuitive, certainly not compared to what I used immediately before (Atari ST) or immediately after (Ubuntu Feisty Fawn).

In 2019, Ubuntu is far more intuitive and manageable for an ordinary person. No going to the internet to download dubious software (or getting malware through the Windows Store, as per my Windows 10 experience), no weird Candy Crush and 'telemetry' (data siphoning) or any of that Microsoft sort of goodness.

Driver issues alone disqualify Ubuntu versus Windows (where are all the three-monitor setups and touchscreen laptops?). So does the complete lack of desktop background options. And having to hold down `Alt` to make the Suspend button appear (which doesn't say Suspend on it by the way). Even the word suspend is so serious like you're punishing your computer, not putting it to bed.

Ubuntu is all business all the time. A five year old would get bored of it within five minutes. iPads are probably crack cocaine in comparison.

Settings doesn't even have an appearance and personalization section. Ubuntu is more stripped down than a Holocaust victim. And there's nothing fun about the Holocaust.
