Decades of FUD against Linux. I still hear from gamers that Linux is fine if you don't value your time. I spent more time configuring my keybinds to ESDF then I do tech support for any Proton or Heroic Launcher game.

Now it's at the point where if you treat Linux desktop as something other than a game console or a development platform you're in for a world of pain. Have fun filtering and grouping documents with Dolphin.

You mean web browsing or office document work?

Anything more technical then gaming requires higher tech knowledge regardless of platform.

And on Linux you need higher tech knowledge and more time compared to other platforms due to almost everything being less polished. None of the Linux file managers have views, filtering and grouping features as polished as Explorer for example, so users will spend more time on miscellaneous tasks like managing files and they'll add up.

You vastly over estimate how the average windows user uses their computer. I can't even get them to tell me where they downloaded a particular, let alone caring about filtering, grouping or view counts.
