MODERATORS
I would disagree. There are distros out there that make it so easy. Especially with flatpak. I think it's not 100% user friendly, but neither is windows. If you can't use Mint Cinnamon, you probably can't use windows well either. That means you're just using the web, email, and office for the most part anyway. With package manager gui interfaces, it's easier to find things with Linux than windows. I think I could show my grandma Linux more easily than windows nowadays. A normal user will get around without ever having to think about PPAs or anything like that.
