I never said you'll never run into issues. Desktop OSes are intrinsically more complicated than, say, a notes app.

But if you think people don't run into issues on Windows all the time, or that no time was spent learning how windows works, then you're out of your mind.

Mint is objectively easier to use than Windows. I'm not telling you to use it. Use what you want. I'm just giving you the info.

We're not talking about complicated things that need learning. We're talking about the fingerprint scanner not working in mint or the scrolling being a super sensitive default speed

If you need to dive into online forums to fix your os installation, instead of just going into the settings app, then it is not "objectively easier than windows"

Which settings app? Windows has multiple, for... reasons...

And let me get this straight, you're saying people never search for assistance when things don't work in Windows? Lmao
