I feel like 75% of Mastodon are people talking about Linux. If you don’t care about Linux you feel alienated. I enjoy Mastodon and Lemmy, but the lack of more diverse subjects gets to me if I browse for too long.
Update: I took your advice and purchased a laptop for Linux, and now I care about it! Problem solved.
Honestly, I think the user experience is better on Linux. Windows is “easy” because people are used to it, not because it’s good. It’s also has the most Google results and is the default results if you don’t add Linux to your search. Other than that, the UX of Linux is better I think.
Updating applications is done in a centralized place, not each application checking for updates when you open it, which is also when you want to use it not wait for an update. You can customize the desktop and window decorations to be more usable for you. Its got all kinds of things that make it easier to deal with after only just a few days of using it than Windows does. Windows just has money for marketing and a captive user base.
