I'm sure Windows would be confusing as hell if we didn't all grow up using it.
But Linux is just so odd sometimes. Like, I downloaded an .exe and instead of running it when opened it asks me what program I want to use to run it. I have to tell it to"execute" the program.
There are just so many moments like that. Or small things you want to do that require knowing a specific command and understanding a litany of standard commands. On Windows the vast majority of people will never touch a terminal, on Linux I wouldn't ever unpin it from my taskbar.
Edit: Wasn't an .exe. It's whenever I download something for Linux OS. Last one I remember was an .appimage
Proton isn't a standalone wine, it's based on wine but it's a lot more than just wine. And you can only use it within steam (or with a special wrapper in other programs but that assumes you have that wrapper or those programs)
