    You are going to get lots of downvotes, and this comment will too.

    Linux on desktop has come a long way in usability, but it is still far behind Windows/Mac. It has lots of small issues that add up to a frustrating experience for mainstream users.

    It is good for power users who don’t mind tweaking and going to the terminal.

    It is ok for users who perform very simple tasks (e.g web browsing), and occasionally have the support from power users.

    But for most people in between, it is a struggle. I dislike Windows and I have tried migrating to Linux many times, there is always something that requires unnecessary effort to make it work the way I need.
