    I think the issue is Linux users think user friendly means 100% freedom to adjust and configure as desired (the system is friendly to users), and most other people think user friendly means a single obvious green path to getting things done.

    These are not strictly incompatible, they’re just difficult to balance.

      I think KDE does it well? “simple by default, powerful when needed” works a charm on their applications

        KDE was a nightmare for my wife since it has the configuration right in the desktop bars and dialogs. Misclicks and drags meant she was making changes she didn’t want to. GNOME was a better choice, 100% simple and no surprises.

    Windows pretends it’s friendly, but in reality it’s just there to sell you Copilot 365 subscriptions.
