    “I’m kissing convenience goodbye, I just want control."

    He is in for a surprise when he realizes GNU/Linux is much more convenient than Winblows.

        I don’t think it’s really much different. What makes windows feel more convenient is that everyone generally learns how to use it first. I think if you took a person that is not familiar with either, they would be able to figure out both OS at around the same time.

        Assuming you don’t need a windows only application for your workflow (admittedly this isn’t very common), it’s really just a matter of getting used to it. There’s plenty of easy to use distros out there, such as Linux “I’m not buying my grandma a new computer” Mint.

      I’d argue this is a wash. Linux is more convenient in many ways but Windows is in others.

        Precisely… which means switching to Linux is not inherently less convenient than windows
