"I’m a busy person with a jobbity job and kids and a mortgage on an iPhone 18 Ultra Plus Air and stuff.
If I have to READ to make anything work, it’s not customer ready, and this new thing should take no time at all to completely understand on my part.
It needs to be a perfect ‘free Windows clone’ before I’ll even consider switching from the mega-corporate ecosystem I was coerced into dependency on from the start. If there’s one thing I hate more than reading, it’s asking anybody for help. Especially my friends. The operating system is the problem."
EDIT (clarity): Just making sure it’s clear this is a hyperbolic hypothetical quote based on real things I’ve read/heard. Trying to be funny. Not my thoughts lol.
If what you want is Windows. Just use windows. For the few times I’ve had to use Windows over the decades, while frustrating and laborious, I don’t expect it to be like my Linux distro. If a Linux distro has the features, utility, software, or ease of use you want. Then by all means, buy a Linux compatible machine. Most distro’s install in 5-10 minutes or buy a prebuilt Linux machine. Nobody expects MacOS to be Windows or Windows to be MacOS. And why would you? Just use the OS you need. Imagine expecting MacOS to be a “free Windows clone”. I’m sure the MacOS users would be screaming bloody murder if Apple thought that was a good idea.
