Whenever I talk to people about Linux I try to never say it's "Easier" or "Easy" when comparing to Windows but that it is different. How you use the computer and configure stuff is different.

Things like Bazzite for gaming or other CoreOS based distros are great for having a stable ground for people who don't want to mess with their stuff too much or tinker and I've heard a lot of good opinions and experiences about them as long as the CoreOS derive suit that audience to a tee in the first place.

Whenever you want to go slightly off rails for the most common person who don't have the experience of Linux but comes from a Windows or Mac background it does indeed become hard in the sense of being "different".

But a lot more so if you have incompatible hardware. You have to hope that you either have a laptop or computer with commonly used hardware by other Linux devs or you're out of luck and have to dig through specialised packages to try and install.

Luckily from my experience it becomes a lot less and less that does happen with newer-ish hardware. But not unheard of sadly.
