    Not what I said at all. But when you are switching from a platform whose issues are familiar and already factored into your workflow to a new one, the new platform has to justify itself despite those new issues. I’m an avid Linux user and could not imagine going back to Windows for work, but we can’t expect people to deal with new issues when they are already exhausted by old ones. The experience has to be better in basically every way to convince people who aren’t actively interested to switch. I think with the dust settling in audio and video stuff and the new crop of sleek DEs we are getting close to that, but for many people Windows is a better experience despite all those problems, because everything else is still that much simpler. Control does not necessitate complexity, and Linux is still more complex.
