Take windows 11. This os have multiple ui, ads are showed in your face, and microsoft ask you every month if you want to use onedrive or buy an xbox rent. Drivers for printers are a nightmare. Linux is amazing, but to much choice. And if something doesn’t work or it’s broken, it’s even harder to repair. And so on.
I know how to use a computer because i like to learn geeky stuff. But i understand that for someone that doesn’t care, it just want something that work.
There’s not “too much choice” in Linux. There’s too much bad advice for potential new users from the existing user base. Every time someone new comes I see hordes of people shilling for their particular flavor of the month.
It’s pretty simple: just tell new users to use Ubuntu (by far the most popular Linux distribution). They can figure it out themselves from there.

Windows was always shit. We only know it because we grew up with it.
