I can. Do you really think computer savvy people are the majority of computer users?

    While that's true but some DE nowadays make it easier for general consumer to install/using Linux as their main os, I think some people even scared of Linux and didn't wanna touch it and that's a shame

    In either case, you still need to install a new OS, which is already a technical hurdle in itself, and know enough command line to fix things when they break/update packages, or to access things that might not have a UI.

    Yeah, maybe someday Windows become so bad that people will do anything to get rid of it, I confess that I'm still using Windows 10 to play most of my games but I will ditch Windows once it reached EOL (I use Open SUSE for web browsing and documents editing and it's been great so far)

    There is nothing tech savy in linux, if you use the right distro. Moreover, mostly tech savy people customize their OS and not average users. If an user can install an app for customizing, then linux is no more different.

    You say this.

    But its just not true.

    It took my of all of a day with Linux mint before she needed to open up a command line and do things.

    I love Linux . i would kill for Linux. Have killed for linux. And wil kill again for Linux. What's that, tux? Sudo for person in store; do "$festoon_the_walls_with_their_guts"? If [[ -e $police ]]; then -eval sudo_works_in_real_,life; find / -type "*god" -exec /platonic_root/deicide police surviving_bystanders news_crews: fi; done

    You're always looking out for me bud. Sure I'll do it.

    You don't really need any skills to use modern Linux. I would argue that it's easier to use than Windows for someone who has basic googling skills. Windows have an annoying habit of getting in the way of the user and making things much harder than they need to be. For example, needing to use the registry editor for basic configuration options.

    No regular Joe will ever need to use regedit, you're thinking with yourself as reference, the majority of computer users aren't going to configure shit. They just get a computer with Windows installed and they start using it.
