Windows is not a simple OS to use. The matter isn't to make a distro simple enough for the tech-illiterate to use, but one familiar enough for their habits to still work. And given it took two years for my mother to understand the floppy icon on libreoffice save the same way as the one in Works 3.0, it's not exactly a simple problem to solve.

    Agree, Windows 11 is now harder to use now than Linux distro like Mint. Just to setup, you have to create a Microsoft account and if you want to skip that, then you have to put commands in powershell or use rufus to disable all that.

    And don’t get me started on forced restarts for updates, the abysmal S0 modern sleep implementation, and so many more. I have to use gpedit.msc just to fix these issues. I think the only reason why Windows still has such a high market is because of enterprise agreements and that it’s pre-installed on every PC laptop.
