Most Linux distros these days are more usable and less complicated than Windows.
Abso-fuckin-lutely not. You’re just lying.
This view that Linux doesn’t have the software selection or features comparable to an Enterprise Operating System ™️ like Windows is largely outdated and misguided.
It isn’t.
You’re being awfully discouraging
I am not discouraging anything. I am being realistic. You are not.
LOL, I probs shouldn’t feed the trolls, but here goes nothing.

We just bought a new PC. And because my family members are kind of adamant on using Windows, we will probably install the latest iteration that M$ has offered.
Funny enough, I am also the techie within the family. As such, I am expected to set it up so that it works as conveniently as possible.
Oh boy… From my reading on the subject, it seems to have become a gargantuan effort to rid Windows 11 of all of its anti-consumer mishaps. Only after doing so, can I actually start setting it up for our use case.
By contrast, if I’d install any beginner-friendly Linux distro, i don’t have to undo anything; setting up starts right after the installation.
I can’t fathom why anyone would prefer the former over the latter, but please feel free to give your take on the matter.
It isn’t.
Stuff like Bazzite has literally become plug-and-play. And breaking it is harder than your average Windows install.
As for software: WinBoat is a very easy (almost) one-click installable piece of software that bridges whatever gap you’re imagining.

No one prefers it. No one uses Windows because they enjoy the setup process. However:
The setup process in Windows is nothing but clicking buttons in a GUI. The same cannot be said for most Linux distributions. At minimum they require a software update to even function properly, and there’s no unified way to do this. Good fucking luck looking it up and not finding a bunch of terminal commands that no one even sees fit to explain how to use. And even if they did they probably wouldn’t work on your distro. The last one I used had 2 different software updaters and for the life of me I couldn’t figure out why. And it badgered me with notifications every 5 seconds that there was a new one.
The setup process is not the problem. I don’t know why you’re still pretending to not understand why it’s difficult to use.

LOOOOLOLOL it is absolutely not. There’s even like 5 steps in the guided installer and each of them is incredibly convoluted. You’re still lying.

K you wanna try and actually substantiate any of your points, or are you just going to continue to give a “nuh uh, you’re wrong I’m right” argument?
I could but as a Linux user there’s no way you don’t already know this. You’re just in denial.
Could you? I don’t believe you.
That’s fine.
