No, clearly switching to an entirely different operating system is the easier option.

Worked for me, but until there’s a consensus on how to onboard the layman on Linux, we need to stop bitching that the layman doesn’t use Linux.

What Linux is missing is a "just works" distro like Mint, that isn't based on Debian Stable or Ubuntu LTS but on something with newer packages and kernels, with >50% market share so you can easily ~~google~~ duck distro-specific issues.

Basically what Ubuntu was, 18 years ago. Nowadays, Ubuntu is still a good beginner's distro, but every beginner asking what to start with is confused by all the experienced Linux users shouting at them about how the most popular distro is evil and shit, for reasons a beginner doesn't understand.
