You can not agree with OP, but that doesn’t change reality. Linux is a pain to use for a regular user. Linux doesn’t support some programs that people depend on and have learned to use. Those things aren’t an issue for Windows, people don’t need to look around for fixes.
I get it, you like it. But the reality of it is - it’s a niche operating system for home use for a reason.
I don’t agree that it’s a pain for the regular user, I think it’s a pain if you use niche software, or software that’s designed to not run on linux intentionally.
Outside of that, it works perfectly fine. The vast VAST majority of users will not miss any software.
Who gives a shit what’s the reason a critical program isn’t running on linux? It doesn’t work. That’s what counts to me, a user of this program. I won’t switch to linux as long as the things I need don’t work there. I won’t learn alternatives simply to be able to say “I use linux”. A lot of people share that sentiment, since for them, the OS they are using is a tool, not a way of life.

I’ve dealt with enough regular uses to know that no, it’s not good for regular users. But you do you - I know that it isn’t ready.
I’ve done the same, I don’t think windows is ready for normal users.
