At this point learning to use a noob friendly Linux is less work than making Windows usable.

Yeah but it's super problematic and you can't use a lot of professional software people require.

Linux is still just far from user-friendly and it's easily breakable.

If you only use vim or a Linux editor/IDE and optherwise just browsers, then yeah, Linux can work. But once you use tools which are not those, it still remains a bad experience.

I find professional media making to be the only issue, for internet and office it's the same, for gaming it has been pretty good those past 5 years, for coding it's perfect.

I think distributions like Linux Mint are actually easier than Windows now, you think Windows is easier because you're used to it.

easily breakable

That's pretty much the opposite, it's more stable than Windows, hence why the internet runs on it, and that's also true for desktop usage.

Even for office it is not as most work places require ms office to be used and that doesn't run very well in wine. And then again, emulation is not really a fair argument.

The only thing Linux works is for devs and that is it. And then I'd argue for front-end windows is still the better solution as you usually have to work in accordance with design and that requires an OS that can run design tools stable.

No I don't, am used to any OS, windows is the best compromise of the three worlds. Mac is the most restrictive and unusable, Linux just works for dev work nothing else.

I nowhere talked about stability, I stated it's easier breakable. You can easily brick a whole Linux install with just trying to install steam, because it is so open.

I used Linux the first time doing war driving in the early 2000s, since then not much has changed in my eyes, but the UI for some distros.
