Linux isn’t ready. Not for home users anyway. And I’ve tried recently. Just constant problems that if I wasn’t getting paid I wouldn’t have wanted to deal with.
I find all the issues eg random audio drivers for my dac crashing, having to manually start my fucking tablet drivers every time I wanted more functionality than a display, having to install any drivers for bt stuff or audio stuff, games running poorly, games crashing, bsods, unsolicited ads. I found they all just dissapeared when I started daily driving linux.
You are VASTLY overestimating why people use pcs: They use it for light gaming and browsing the web. Linux has been ready since forever.
Did you buy a machine that comes with Linux and just turn it on and let it update? Alternatively did you buy something for Windows and act shocked when the wifi card was crap and refuse to buy one that actually works for $20?
Honestly Linux Mint was ready for normal people a decade ago.
I don’t see how it’s not. I have all the desktops and gaming PCs in my house running EndeavorOS and it’s been a flawless experience, much better than Windows. Heck, I’ve been using Linux for my general desktop since 2015. I only kept a Windows install around for gaming, and that’s not even needed anymore.
Even the difference in the installs is utterly absurd. Linux install from USB to full desktop deployment is 15-20 minutes, tops. For Windows, it was more like 2 hours and a bunch of hacks to work around their Microsoft account bullshit.

What exactly “isn’t ready” in your opinion?
