The fuck is a distro? Linux bros can't say a single sentence about how "easy" Linux is without using some terminology that proves it would actually take quite a bit of research for someone unfamiliar to make the switch. People don't want to do that. They want an OS that works without having to take a mini CS course.

You really don't seem to understand how big the gap is. The things you think are easy or intuitive are far from it. Most people can't even figure out how to download something from GitHub, and you think Linux is right for them?

    People don't want windows either, they just use it because it came preinstalled.

    Yes there are people who will never install any alternative OS for themselves but there are plenty of people who would if they knew about other viable options.

    I'm willing to bet most Linux users used to be windows users at some point. So its not futile to evangelise.

    Also pick a noob distribution/flavour such as pop_os and the installation is no different than installing windows. Download your browser, steam and office tools and just use it.
