My 75 year old father have been running linux for 20 years now. All in all, i know about 7 super casual users that are running linux only, without any real issues.
Its definitely there for the casual users. Its just not really there for the Windows "power"users lol
It still depends on the hardware you have. If you have hardware that’s fully supported by the kernel version your distro is running, then it’s easy. But as soon as you add a piece of hardware that isn’t, there’s a good chance you need to spend a lot of time searching how to fix it. Buying a new mouse and all of a sudden not having sleep work is not a power user problem IMO.

@Untold1707 As opposed to the hardware requirements of windows, who force you to buy a new computer for every new windows version just because?
