    What, like it’s hard?

    It’s significantly more complicated to use vs. Mac and Windows, absolutely, and if you say anything else, you’re just lying.

      I would say it works very differently than what people are used to on Windows or Macs, and that there are still too many solutions that rely on the terminal. Additionally, the fact that different distros can have completely different ways to perform the same task doesn’t help with its adoption by non-techy people.

      More “complicated” is relative.

      Seen people that their first OS is Android and consider any PC OS as hard to use, and Linux with Gnome as the easiest PC OS.

      Back when I was in college, I had a bizarre fixation on making my Ubuntu install look as much like Windows XP (and later Vista) as possible. For the Vista attempt, I even went as far as making a custom Compiz reflection image so that I could get the proper Aero shine on my translucent, Gaussian-blurred windows.

      I ended up getting close enough that my one friend thought I’d finally gone mad and installed Vista, so I called it a win and moved onto trying to make something more unique…which ended up looking at lot like Windows 8/10 before they were a thing.
