@afewbugs People have been working on making Linux more available for decades now. It's at the stage where it's probably more intuitive, more usable and more friendly than Windows ever was.
Yes, it's different, and thus requires investment in familiarizing yourself with a different os, but it's no worse than going, say, from win10 to win11.
@hazelnot Neither is Microsoft's latest os, whatever that is. Every time I have to use one I'm completely confused because each version has a completely different interface.
Honestly Classic Gnome on Ubuntu would be so much more familiar to anyone who was there for the Win95/XP/Vista era than modern Windows interfaces.
People get used to what they're given. Don't underestimate people. They can learn a new interface pretty quickly. They have been doing so for decades. @afewbugs
@hazelnot Which is just as good a reason not to upgrade to the latest Windows as it is to not switch to Linux.
People should not have to deal with new, confusing interfaces when they don't have the mental bandwidth to do so, but that applies equally to both. Linux is not special in that way.
