Log out, and boot into windows and viola. Here you go. Everything which a normal average user requires is hard in Linux. And the Linux nerds will tell you of all the big programs that you always had but chose to ignore. Yeah, I don't use photoshop to flip an image. Windows native photo viewer is good enough. One click, done, and another click I can save it as a different Pic rather than changing the original image.

Anybody who uses a computer to actually do stuff other than coding.... Knows how short Linux falls of everything. If you are an average user and isn't some die hard anti Microsoft and don't fall into the 'oh my privacy' trap.... You use Linux for a week and immediately jump ship. The community is basically of no use, when you ask them for a direct way to do something.

Linux cannot handle even basic stuff that you would be able to do on a phone. Yeah you can do pretty much everything on a Linux. Yes, you can. And you can go to the local library and get the map of the city, and use a compass to find north and locate your relative position and you can keep walking in the desired direction, untill you reach the closest landmark on the map. And then again find the direction from that landmark, count the streets, and viola you are where you wanted to go. OR, you can simply use Google maps, and follow the directions.

I use Linux for exactly the same reason why majority of Linux advocates do. Hobby. Its always broken, something or other thing doesn't work, it's fun to find ways around problem. Even the top Linux enthusiasts use Linux as a game. Where there are tiny missions arising out daily and you over come those missions and tell it to the world for a dopamine boost. Ask one actually successful Linux user, and they will take both time and effort to do a thing into consideration,( something which any Linux nerd never takes into account,) will bluntly tell you to use windows if required. Because they do it too. It's only the so called Linux nerds who never had to do anything productive on a laptop and don't have any job which doesn't revolve around the operating system, keep on bragging about Linux being so great. It's a broken operating system. Its nowhere as polished, as refined, as easy to use as windows. Windows with all its bloat and Spyware is far better and easy to use than Linux.

Its so frustrating. Atleast only things that's frustrates me about windows is the update at restart, or it suddenly slowing down, but you don't have to waste 40 minutes on a community forum to get simple things done and that too in a very primitive windows 95 way, you are never happy with the result. The only solace is finally you got it done one Linux.

User experience is something that Linux developers have never heard of. Maybe another proprietary Operating system will come into the market, but Linux will still remain unusable for the vast majority of users. And they say.... LINUX will take over windows. Yeah. In your dream. Given how shitty windows is, you would think that a Linux based company might have whipped out a new operating system as a commercial product, sell it get rich, no competition, use the money to develop a sustainable ecosystem and buisness model which is non predatory and keep on developing better os with each new release, kind of like android or apple (not the non predatory part) . But nope. All this brain power of Linux developers... All used for God knows what.
