    Well there’s “spin up a live usb and do some testing before your baremetal install” which is a crucial step that many ignore. But due to the nature of not being a proprietary OS installed by manufacturers who test things, instead being mostly up to the community to make things work, you’ll likely always have to do a little set up, or just buy a system76 with linux preinstalled and it’ll be closer for those who just can’t be bothered to do things for themselves.

      I’m not complaining about my experience, I’m saying I don’t think Linux is ready to be a replacement for many Windows users.

      You clearly agree because you say “spin up a live USB and do some testing”.

        Idk I don’t think windows users are as mentally handicapped as both we and those windows users themselves like to pretend, I think they’re just lazy.

        Excluding like the elderly and stuff who barely know more than a pen and paper, and seemingly now children who have never used anything but an iphone, but like, average people? I’d expect they can “learn things,” yes. Tbh windows isn’t as “just works” as advertised either and they likely already have to learn something every now and again (though then again every fix for windows after 8 seems to boil down to “reinstall it loser” so maybe not.)

        The culture of immediacy has been such a detriment on our society.
