It's only "easy" to use because of prior knowledge of UI patterns that almost everyone has thanks to Windows' historical market share. It's not naturally intuitive. I have seen lifelong Apple users (before OSX) that were completely lost on a Windows PC until they got used to it.
Obviously I'm not defending any particular Linux DE here, but I haven't done any research on them either.

Seriously, you think people would save the shit about "relearning how to use an OS" when Windows changes shit in every mainline release. Remember how Windows 8 removed the start menu and replaced it with that fucking tiles bullshit? Now you have Windows 11 centering your icons in the task bar instead of having them left-justified. "Oh, but it's only one thing you have to change". Oh, but I thought that Windows "works out of the box". Every single excuse people make to defend Windows is the words of a battered house wife: "You don't know him like I know him! I can't live without him! I can fix him! He loooooooooves me!"
No one comes out of the womb knowing how to drive a car, do basic math, or read basic words.
When people point out legit tech problems with Linux, you deflect and attack the users, then you wonder why Windows has such a high adoption rate and people refuse to make the switch, get a grip honestly.
If you had an actual issue with Linux, you'd have just said it. The only reason Linux has a "low adoption" (if you ignore Android) is because people are lazy and wouldn't rather stick with what they're given. But hey, "I will never eat the bugs and I will not sleep in the pod", right?
I bet you're one of those 'Linux users' that dual boots windows regardless of how much you claim to hate Microsoft.
Nope. Pure, straight Linux. The projection is unreal. Just because you're an insecure faggot who gives up and can't commit to shit doesn't mean everyone is, bitchtits. Unlike you, I'm unable to make sacrifices and learn how to do things. I also don't care about live service jobs that rely on poorly implemented, super aggressive anti-cheat that runs on the kernel level.
I'm far more hostile about the changes they're making to the administrative tool set. If I weren't already balls deep in Powershell the constant reshuffling of all the admin interfaces would make me shit a brick.
I have never, ever been in a position where unplugging a USB device bricked my Windows installation. Meanwhile, if a USB storage device on my laptop running Mint gets unplugged without being dismounted (which happens, it's a laptop), I better start backing shit up because that installation is now ruined. Next time I try to boot, it just won't.
When I tell Linux creatures this story, they act like I'm just making shit up, or I must just be retarded, as if it's my first time using a computer and I haven't extensively tested this for my own sake. That Linux has real issues is beyond them.
That literally is it, I tested it repeatedly because it wasn't a hobby OS, I needed it to work. It was one of the Mint 20 distros. The installation could be completely clean, five minutes old, sat idle the whole time. Thumb drive in, thumb drive out, restart, and it's locked up.

What are you doing at the time? Saying "when a USB gets unplugged, my installation is ruined" is not enough information to go off of.
