[Rant] I swear to fucking god. Windows is harder to use than Linux. Have any of you ever USED Windows lately? Holy fuck.

I'm helping a family member build a pc. He wanted to use Windows because "Linux can't play games" despite me having a perfectly good gaming laptop running Linux that runs all my games, even graphically intensive ones.
2 days later, no game has been played yet. We can't even get steam to start. I even installed Arch on a sata ssd I donated just to verify the pc parts actually work (took less than an hour). It took 1 and a half days to even get the Windows 11 installer to get past like the 3rd screen.
Fucking fuck. Dealing with all this fucking bullshit is far worse than not being able to play a few trashy anticheat pay 2 win games. The anti Linux circlejerk is real.

You can tell them all the pros and cons about it, but in all 38 years of my life, I've only had one person enthusiastically wanted to try something new on their PC, a fellow class mate from back in highschool. People legitimately don't like new things when they think what they already use is perfectly fine.
Ironically this reasoning is exactly why I ended up switching to Linux when Windows 8.0 came out. I hated the new start menu so much and the Linux distro of my choice had a very similar one to Windows 7.
I tried getting used to that tile UI on windows. Doesn't feel natural at all. I gave the new KDE a try after using gnome exclusively, I really like it, the many options out there is the selling point. I think Stardock(?) used to offer different UI options on windows, but it felt very broken.
