My brother, you don't realize how critical that is. UX is all that matters for us regular people when it comes to computers and operating systems. Even after Windows 11's moronic redesign people still find Linux UX to be relatively inferior, which speaks a lot about the absolute state of it.
I do realize the importance of the UX, which is why I listed some of the mountain of problems with Windows' UX that make it an inferior one to Linux. As I noted, the reason people tend to find Linux's inferior is that they're simply nose blind to the landfill of Windows UX problems that would be a dealbreaker if they were on Linux but not Windows. (That, or they literally never use Linux and just assume it's inferior because of memes that say it is.)
The reason I pointed out that Linux has faults with the UX is to say that it's not some perfect wonderland with zero problems, but it's a huge improvement over Windows.
