Firstly, I actually don’t interact much with the Linux community itself. I’ve helped convince some of my online friends to switch, and I’m always available for tech support (unless I’m at work), and I’ve never RTFM’d anyone, nor do I act superior for using Linux (I am not holier than them, I merely want to save them from eternal damnation).
While I agree that Linux isn’t perfect (the fact that there’s AI code in the kernel makes my heart burn with fiery hatred), I think it’s a lot better than Windows (11; 10 was actually pretty decent). As for ease of use, that heavily depends on both the use case and the distro.
If you’re an author who only needs to write and use a browser, you can quite easily handle Ubuntu or Debian. If you’re a gamer, things can get more complicated, but Valve’s Proton has made Linux gaming so much more “it just works”.
So basically… yeah, I think Linux is better than Windows, and I’m happy to help people make the switch. When someone asks about Linux, or needs help, I get excited; I’m always happy to teach and share.
