A few more years? Try Mint 22.3 Cinnamon, like millions of others are!

Go install Linux Mint and you might just realize that line is already way behind microsoft.

Linux is fucking easy already. Plenty of Distros out there, with preinstalled KDE Plasma, which is like a almost 1-1 transition from Windows :)

I find that a lot of stuff is easier on Linux. Like downloading and updating most software. Heck the official Minecraft launcher works better on Linux with multiple accounts than on Windows. Just try some distro’s out

windows seems to be self-destructing , might be sooner than that.

to be fair, during the past few years that I've used mint and kubuntu, not being able to shutdown, restart or suspend has been a pretty common issue 😅 so it'll be a nice familiarity for people migrating from windows

I feel like we actually got there a whole who, at least assuming basic use and fairly conventional hardware. Getting into the command line to fix stuff been be a pain, but so is navigating the absurd hierarchy of windows settings. Assuming a computer that is already set up properly it's pretty much a seamless experience. If your mom bought a laptop with mint and just used it for regular browsing and shit she probably couldn't tell the difference.

We already have obnoxiously “user-friendly” distros that make stupid assumptions we hate like windows does (Ubuntu) but get you out of box and going instantly. This has been solved. You start there, figure out what you hate, then migrate to something more your flavor. Windows: there are 7 flavors that all taste the same and cost different amounts. Apple: it’s free because it only runs on our machines, which cost more and subsidize the OS development. This is fine because you will never leave, we think you’re going to love it. (Introduces Liquid Glass and wonders where everyone went) BSD: firewalls, PlayStations, and neckbeards. We know what we’re about. Linux: whatever, I don’t care, just wash your hands.
