> No bro, it requires zero investment of time to "know your way around windows" for basic stuff like installing consumer programs--that's the thing. Not sure how you're missing that. I don't think I've ever installed anything incorrectly on Windows. I'm not sure that's even possible.

hmm, is that why theres SOOOO much stuff around "customer support"?

its funny how the "issues" affecting linux (mostly that it isnt EXACTLY like what they're used to, windows) is a huge blocker issue, but windows gets a free pass for everything.

Linux isnt ready for the desktop because of tiny things, but windows is, despite issues unimaginably bigger.

hell, when people mostly said "linux isnt ready for the desktop" in the early 2000s, windows was unable to be installed on modern computers without custom creating a floppy disk with drivers for your sata drive. Yet somehow it was ready for the desktop.
