The indoctrination of windows is extreme. Windows is just as hard as linux, harder even with all the layers of obscurity.
And yet… linux is hard, and users decry RTFM as “not growing the userbase”

I disagree about how it used to be easy. And agree with everything else.
Ive used Windows since the 3.1 days (MSDOS as well?). Its never been “easy”. You just learn the magic spells on how to fix a printer, get the right drivers installed in JUST the right way, or which hardware magically doesn’t work for some reason and avoid it.
With Linux, at least we get good logs most of the time.
i remember my first family pc was a tandy sensation which had it’s own built in ui - winmate - because windows 3.1 program manager was so frustrating.
As a kid using XP, never had a single issue.
As a kid helping his family’s XP and 7 computers, I had faced plenty of issues.
