I think linux desktop is ready for open minded people who see interested in a new way of doing things. I don't think it's ready for people who can't use a computer or troubleshoot. Windows breaks often so I'm not as harsh when I see linux break.

    Agreed, I am surprised how often file explorer crashes on Win 10. Or I need to restart windows for random reasons since moving to Linux. Its to the point I want to gut my desktop and put Manjaro on it too.

    Compared to when I started using Linux in the late 2000's, Linux has matured to an unbelievable point. To someone who is even slightly interested in learning, its perfectly usable as a Windows replacement... depending on your Distro, Desktop Environment, etc.

    It's this depends which makes recommending Linux hard for me, since when a problem occurs, I find its not as easy to troubleshoot especially with how many flavours of Linux exists.
