Linux is so bad it's worse than everything else even when others are enshittifying aggressively? Got it!
Very good, I'm happy to see you're learning new stuff!
Over the years I've tried switching to Linux and it definitely was less user friendly. I think Mint has made huge strides and hopefully will be able to take over.
I tried Ubuntu in 2015 or so, and Mint in 2018, and quit both times. Now i've been using Mint since last July.
I don't know if it's because Linux changed or i changed, but one way or another something clicked. I'm planning on switching entirely to Mint before Win10 reaches end of life because there's no way i'm installing Win11, so i have to migrate my whole workflow by then.
That's not exactly the full truth.
I've switched my geriatric mother over to Ubuntu, and she's been fine. She's been using it for a full year at this point, and hasn't made a single complaint about anything.
She doesn't need anything beyond Libre office, so that definitely effects the experience. But it is plenty user friendly.
