I'm actually fine with Linux being for people who are into knowing how their computers work and Windows/MacOS for people who aren't.
I just wish there was an option for normal people to escape "we've added more bloatware and spyware in this mandatory update" without having a CS degree.
There is a lot of accessible distros, but the issue is that people have been using an OS for so long that it is hard to switch and relearn a new workflow.
Asking for everything to be done for you is just asking for another bloatware/spyware OS (see how Ubuntu is slowly going that way for example).
Unless you have a tool that you can't live without, bite the bullet and make the jump. It will suck for a 2-3 weeks, but it is worth it.

Please tell this to my systems administrator at my job. At home itβs all Linux at work trying to use Windows is mind numbing.
