Agree, but Linux (and Mac) both fall to the sunk time fallacy. “I’ve spent years learning to navigate around Windows’s bullshit, so doing the same with a new OS is time I’d rather spend just using my OS!” It’s bullshit and should be called out as such.
All three of the major OSes are piss easy to use. Linux, specifically if you’re using Mint or Ubuntu and it’s already set up. Some Linux distros (e.g. Arch) take some effort to set up, but you’re rewarded for doing so by knowing more about how your computer works.
And they all have advantages. Windows is used by more people and more programs are made for it. It also has some of the best compatibility. Mac is the best “commercial” OS. It’s made for humans, it’s UNIX certified (though that certification is like 40 years old or something), it’s not made by Microsoft, and it’s used by creatives. Linux is aimed more at coders and tinkerers and people who want to really own their computer and control it at a deeper level. All of them can serve a person’s needs well and they all run Firefox.
