    But a huge part is conditioning because people are forced to use Windows early and get used to it.

    I have made the exact same “oh, this just works and is quite intuitive and convenient”-experience with Linux installs… for people lacking that prior forced contact with Windows (say older relatives with their first PC for example…).

      Yeah, but when linux fucks up, you are screwed, you need to have some technical knowledge or smart friend to fix it, and in windows its often just restart

        In my experience the fuck ups on the level where you need technical help are more in line with a “just freshly reinstall Windows yet another time”-scenario

          Yeah, but if its critical, small problems are automatically fixed, while in linux small problems become bigger if you don’t fix them.
