@DXMacGuffin I've had my very tech illiterate mother on Linux. My idiot former roommate who couldn't figure out the TV he used as a monitor switched to a different input after a power failure was on #Linux.
Yes, #Linux is easier than Windows for many many use cases.
I'm also running Linux nicely on computers Windows users threw away, because Windows uses FAR too many resources, most of them involving listening to you and watching you to go get ads for you.
@DXMacGuffin My whole job involves toiling away at Windows problems I either would never have on #Linux, or could fix in a couple lines on the terminal if I did have them.
Go ahead and make FireFox your default app for the stuff it supports on Windows, then do the same on Linux. Do that and tell me straight faced Windows is easier than Linux.
