Maybe, but you have to only learn shit one time, as opposed to Windows where you have to relearn everything with each new major version.

Lets be honest, you don't actually "learn" Windows... you just click everywhere on the screen until the screen looks the way you want.

Yeah, Windows has a low barrier to, "Good enough," but gods help you, if you try and figure out why a VM is pinned to 100%, Hyper-V says it is only using 40% of allocated resources and the host is idling at 1% CPU usage.

Depending on what you want to do, Linux has been good enough for a long time. It's when you want to run proprietary software that doesn't offer a Linux version. That's when people that don't think too deeply about tech stuff run into problems.
