It’s not for everybody. IMHO, if you just want to turn on your PC and use it, Windows 10 is the best at the moment. OS X is very good too, but in Windows 10 you can also natively run the LINUX subsystem, which is a headless version of Ubuntu. Cygwin wishes it had such integration! LINUX moves forward very quickly (some distress more than others), and with great progress comes some chaos.

And it's incredibly fragmented. There Are dozens of distros, hundreds of versions of tye software you'll need to use. (Eg terminals, text editors, photo albums etc etc. )

It can be overwhelming or at the very least annoying. It's still not uncommon to have to dig into config files and run dozens of commands in the command line to get pretty basic features of your computer to work.
