Linux is never going to be a viable replacement for Windows unfortunately. I can't think of a pithy way to phrase it, but by it's nature it will never be coherent and reliable enough with a cohesive design such that it can take the place of Windows. It's simply a byproduct of its nature as an open source OS. At best it can be a stop-gap for dedicated autists looking to escape the Microsoft environment but it will never reach the point where it's going to be a functional replacement for the Windows desktop.
Linux as an escape hatch is outright cope and willful denial of reality.
You're highlighting my point by lamenting the need to herd the cats into achieving anything meaningful. Linux will continue to be what it always was and not what people wish it could become.

my distro just updated from plasma5 to plasma6. suddenly all the file-manager shortcuts were changed.
from a simple f10 to make a new folder to the shitty windows 3-button shortcut.
linux is already on it's way to become as user-unfriendly and shit as windows.
You have it backwards friend. Linux has always been the standard-bearer for user-unfriendly.
