Comment on What the Linux desktop really needs to challenge Windows

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. What Linux needs is a straight forward setup. Yes Mint is normally super easy to install but can also randomly just not work due to what is often a very simple issue but one obscure enough that the inexperienced (like me) will take hours or even days of trying different solutions until they find it. I love how light linux is but an extra half a gigabyte in the setup to just innately include solutions to the most common issues would pull in way more people than it would push away.

Linux, in my experience, has been way less painful to set up than Windows. It takes like 1/4 of the time, and I don’t end up with half my shit in One Drive because I misclicked.

I’d agree with that when it works. When linux setup works its great, when it doesn’t work getting it working again is obscure as hell, Windows almost always sets up correctly first time but its obscure as hell to not make it be kind of shitty.
