linux can be easy under certain conditions, circumstances, and use cases,

but it would be great if linux advocates could stop pedalling delusions about competing with mainstream operating systems on usability and support..it's self defeating; all it does is generate disappointed newcomers.

brain calluses for bad ui and annoyances is a thing.
and programmers don't (on the whole) know what a sufficient os looks like for a video editor, graphic artist, musician, or 3d modeller.
