    If a person is able to just keeps things simple with Linux, it's really no muss, no fuss. Work demands (even play demands), is where things can get complex.
    Basic usage shouldn't be any real issue, in my opinion.

    I am not convinced the learning curve thing is necessarily true in the sense that people who have never learned to work with a computer can just as easily learn to work with linux than they do with Windows or Mac. I have seen it before when I put Ubuntu on an old machine many years ago before my mom ever really touched a computer. She had just as much trouble learning to work with Windows years later than she did learning to work with Ubuntu.
    But yes, for people who already are used to work with a computer a certain way, it means having to adapt just like it is when switching from Windows to Mac or probably even Windows XP to Windows 11 if you would have been away for years. I honestly believe people who have never touched a computer and just need to use a browser can work on any of the operating systems without issues. Finding help with problems is probably going to be the easiest on Windows, but I don't think it matters which OS people use if they just do simple computing tasks. And as far as the power user goes, those people have just forgotten that it took some time to learn it on Windows as well.
    I have not switched yet (I will when Win 10 support drops), although I have been daily driving a separate minipc for the last year and a half (and an old laptop that I booted up a couple of times a week before that for 5 years or so) on EndeavourOS (minipc) and vanilla Arch (laptop) and I personally haven't seen a huge amount of issues yet. But I certainly had to get my hands dirty a couple of times. But I would consider myself a power user, I had to do that on Windows as well in the past. Other distros I have installed over the years (not counting VMs, I learned most of it with those), Xubuntu on the previous mediaPC, RaspberryPiOS (or whatever it is called now), Antergos on my previous linux old laptop and Debian on an old PC and a VPS. Also I work as IT in a university, so while I don't personally administer the machines, I have plenty of linux experience over the last 15 years or so, just not as a daily driver.
    As far as the choice goes, there isn't that much choice overall because most of the distros are for niche audiences who know what they want. Most of the distros are extremely similar and you basically just basically just choose a package manager and maybe if you don't want to deal with more possible issues stay away from rolling release distros (I personal prefer them, but they are obviously easier to break). The desktop environments people tend to focus on can be installed on any distro anyway. I would just choose one of the bigger distros, in most cases the smaller spin-off distros are probably not really worth looking at with the exception of maybe some of the bigger arch based ones if you want an out of the box experience. So I would just choose between something like Mint, Fedora, OpenSUSE, arch for more adventurous users (or EndeavourOS/Arco Linux) or Ubuntu (I would not, but it has a lot of info online). For servers I tend to go for Debian but I like Alpine as well. I have put Mint on an old laptop for my dad (he asked to do so) and he never worked with linux before after having worked with Windows for 30+ years (and DOS before that) and it worked perfectly fine. I think if people just check Mint, Fedora or OpenSUSE they would be fine, the rest is probably not that relevant for new users. That's 3 choices (there is absolutely no reason for the majority of people to even think about things like wayland/X11 or Systemd/runit/sysvinit, that's only important for power users). As far as immutable distros go, they are not for me but I do agree they are a good idea for a lot of people. I think they will grow a lot in the next couple of years.
    That all said, I do think most people will agree with your take though and I do understand where you are coming from. It will take some work in the beginning from people who are used to Windows and most of them don't like doing that work and give up. But the work needed isn't that bad any more in my opinion. I have been playing games on that minipc for a year and a half and the majority of games just work without hassle. Wine and Proton have gotten very good thanks to Valve for a large part and I do think more people will be okay with switching if they are okay with putting in a bit of work in the beginning. I don't think it will get to 20% adoption any time soon (if ever), but I do think Win 10 being done next year might give it an other 1 or 2 % growth.
    Edit: also, sorry for writing this book, is it obvious I have thought about this before?

    The things that have stopped me from using Linux over the years:
    1. Ugly unintuitive UI - which has gotten better over the years, but still you have to pick the right one as there are still ugly ones.
    2. Random issues - too many to list, but there is always a random issue I get which doesn't make sense, this is expected of community created software that has to work on many variations of hardware models. Ubuntu tends to be more polished though.
    3. Emulators - I find that they tend to run better on Windows, maybe the Linux version is a port or less effort is put into making it polished? mGBA is not completely smooth in Linux but is on Windows on the same hardware.

      I feel that on point 2. I've never had a Linux desktop without weird random issues. Tried every distro under the sun for 12 years.

      @@CybersecPat Thx for your honest opinion. I agree with all of your points. I've been saying the same things for years. Linux users hate me for this. Lunduke is basically stating the same thing www.youtube.com/@BryanLunduke.
      Gonna try MicroOS. But do you think that a beginner or even an average PC user would wanna do a setup after the installation? I'm afraid most won't. See th-cam.com/video/3ev4GX9v1Yg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=KH80fUU3jJJ_MHmo (but I will).
      In my opinion, Windows will eventually switch to a Linux kernel. What do you think?
