I’ve heard people make the argument that Linux is bad because it’s too hard to use.

    First inpressions matter. The thing most people want operating systems to do is get out of the way. And while using Linux is great (so long as your software supports it), setting it up is not seamless. If you want to install Linux, new users have to spend 8 hours surfing 20 boards to be told 30 different answers about which distro to use. And that's before you even get started.

    If you want to install Windows, you just fucking install Windows.

    It's bad to recommend to less tech-literate people. It's bad to force on someone in general.
