This is corporate propaganda. /s
In all seriousness though it'd be really nice if people stopped sharing memes making Linux look hard. Its literally the only readily available easy to use option that doesn't spy on you, the people need to not be scared of it.
It's accessible for new users, easy for old users, but ironically the hardest if you know only just enough to be dangerous.
Sincerely, Someone who broke their desktop gui by tinkering, twice.
100% true there.
As a 20 year user I can't imagine using something else as easily. My partner, who's been using it for less than a month, also has a great time with it.
Back when I was still learning though I broke it quite a few times mucking about where I didn't belong and copy-pasting commands I didn't understand into the terminal.
Remember kids, if you don't understand what you're reading, you can break things by following instructions.
