    Ah, the dichotomy of Linux users:

    “wHy DoEsN’t EvErYbOdY uSe LiNuX???”

    and

    “gEt On My LeVeL nOoB”

      If setting a simple setting is too much for you, which is also a 5 second search away if you’re struggling that hard, then yeah, Linux is too much for you. But so is Windows.

        And yet, people of that level use windows to game everyday. Shows you how much ready Linux is for mainstream if comments like yours still pop up regularly.

          There’s a totally fair criticism that Windows is no more or less comprehensible or usable than e.g. Ubuntu, but familiarity is the differentiator. If someone is opposed to changing settings in a .conf file but not a .ini file, or fine with making registry changes but not service changes, it’s not an issue of usability or accessibility, it’s just familiarity.
