The best one I’ve ever heard is they like the Microsoft wallpapers. Yes i told them you can use them on linux too. But they argued with me that they wouldn’t be compatible.

“I deal with enough tinkering on computers at work, when I get home I just want it to work” Proceeds to spend hours getting mod packs installed on games they play for a week, month tops
That’s actually not as crazy though. Linus himself said people don’t install operating systems, it’s not what most people want to do in their free time.
We have our own version in linux too. Arch/Gentoo/NixOS, neovim/hyprland/kitty unixporn evangelists who clearly have a very different idea of what’s worth spending time on, compared to the average user. Like gosh, ubuntu, konsole and vscode work perfectly fine too!
I use Arch. I’m a beginner. It has been super easy.
You just need the right distro. Arch can be easy too.
I installed arch myself too. But i still don’t see what benefits it brings over the simple GUI installers from Debian or Fedora. Just click a few buttons and I’m done. What was the point of all the complexity of arch installer anyway? I develop open source linux programs too, the arch installer stuff has very little relation to the actual development of linux projects. I don’t see much reason for it, it’s complexity for the sake of it. Just use a GUI installer and be done with it.
Regarding Ubuntu, its cousin Mint is even more regular user friendly, as is ZorinOS.
Doesn’t seem ridiculous enough.
They probably expect the OS to “just work”, so that they can work on other things that don’t just work.
A little BS though, but understandable.
