Do you think a user that never used macOS or windows would manage to use them from minute zero? I can answer that for you. No. Users have habits that comes from their day to day tasks. And that applies especially to such things that we use for hours every day. So a livelong user of macOS would struggle with windows in the same way livelong windows user would struggle with Linux. And btw young generations hooked on phones are not capable to use computer with any OS from minute zero. Seriously, its like watching granpas and grandmas.

I’m a lifetime user of linux/unix and struggle when I have to use MacOS or Windows. I’m used to X11! Select (and copy on select) anything you can see. Paste on middle click on the mouse. Fat scrollbars that tell you how much there is to scroll. Arrow-buttons on the scrollbar, preferrably one pointing up at the top and two at the bottom, one pointing up, one pointing down. Draggable scrollpiece in the scrollbar. Click in the scrollbar to jump. Buttons that look like buttons. Focus follows mouse. Etc. etc.

I picked up KDE as a long time Windows user like that. I can’t even figure out how to drag and drop on my friend’s Macbook. If anything Macs are the odd one out with their control scheme.
