Linux 
Windoze user drama over the user friendliness of linux in a linux haters sub 
because the majority of Linux users are toxic, fragmentation of Linux with 100000000 distributions which are useless.
/u/No_Cover4954 you are a kitty b-word
It is use friendly but it's not stupid friendly (like windows) , they don't care to make it stupid friendly
Fragmentation and dot it yourself mentality is its own undoing. Oh and "I like it this way so everyone can frick off".
Because linux sucks
How is it not user friendly? I use kubuntu and the kde plasma desktop environment is very similar to windows, you have a startmenu, settings, dolphin for file management, discover for installing your applications, you can right click your desktop and configure a wallpaper, I put my bluetooth gamepad in pairing mode and connect it to my pc, i start steam and play the same games that I played on Windows. In most everyday use cases its very similar to what windows users are familiar with.
I think Linux is pretty user friendly. What are you expecting exactly?
It's not popular on desktop because no big company was backing it as a desktop OS in the beginning or at least they weren't aiming to make it popular, and by the time Chrome OS came along Windows and Mac OS were well established. Is that what you are talking about? It has nothing to do with the lack of community effort to make it user friendly. Chrome OS and Steam OS have made big efforts in improving the state of Linux desktop but it's very hard to overthrow a well established duopoly. Just like how Windows failed to enter the Smartphone market while Mac OS (iOS) and Linux (Android) succeeded.

What he probably expects is a 1:1 copy of Windows
That's exactly what i want from linux [
]
Loonix hater going mask off that he wants linux to be exactly like winblows lmao
Because of diehard terminal elitists and allergies to implementing GUIs.
/u/notaduck448_ nobody cares, just ignore them if you don't like terminal elitists, there are plenty of linux DEs that are better than The trashy Windows and mediocre macOS GUIs, misinformed linux hater.
This is an incredibly, profoundly out of touch take.
First of all "Linux" isn't a company.
Secondly, and more ridiculously that it has to be explained, the state of user friendliness in the Linux family of operating systems has grown by several orders of magnitude since its inception.
Even just following Ubuntu from 2006 to now I've seen vast improvements. And Ubuntu itself back then WAS a vast improvement in user friendliness compared to other distros back then.
This isn't just a case of you having a different opinion than me. You're really just... Objectively wrong. I remember compiling a tutorial in 2006 to get the wmp54gs wireless card working on Ubuntu. It was a very common card. Many steps were involved. Feisty Fawn in 2007 broke my tutorial. It has been literally over a decade since getting common wireless cards to work required that much effort. There may be a handful that aren't well supported but it's more likely these days by far that you'll have no trouble with it than that you will.
Widespread adoption of Linux desktop is not an agreed apon goal of the Linux community.
Linux is a semi-descendant of Unix, a mainframe OS designed for an attending well informed administrator and remote users with less knowledge.
Today Linux is a server OS first, everything can be done with the console becase most instalations don't even have a desktop gui, this is the development direction.
Your asesment is correct, somone good with Linux (an administrator) can set it up for a grandmother or in my case Wife (user) and it will work great. But you need that administrator arround who knows what is going on.
Linux dumbed down enough to be safe for the masses unassisted is Android & ChromeOS.
You will meet Linux where it is or you won't use it.
#3 but that is a massive cope lmao
Because by the time you created one, the next linux guy said your OS sucks and should switch to a newer linux.
In my experience, most of Linux's "user unfriendliness" comes from different distros doing things differently and making it harder to google "how to do ___ in Linux?"
There's not really a solution that doesn't defeat half the purpose of Linux existing, so… 🤷🏻♂️
#4 and it should stay that way

My experience with modern linux is that user friendliness is not the issue. The issue is how extremely unhelpful the Linux community is when you have a problem. If they do actually help you, a lot of them will propose a solution that just creates other problems later down the line.
Every time I have rage quit Linux over the years, my breaking point was attempting to get the Linux community to even acknowledge that something even is a problem. I remember trying to figure out how to uninstall Linux in 2013 only to be confronted with a bunch of people demanding to know why and trying to convince the OP that they shouldn't.
That's their biggest issue. You ask "How do I do X", and their answer is either "You don't want to do X", "Justify your desire to do X" or "Here's the most suboptimal and weird way to do X that provides undesirable side-effects, there's a better method, but I provided you this one for neurodivergent reasons".

I mean honestly that's indicative of a bigger problem that you notice all the time in tech help forums. I honestly just chalk it up to autism, it's too hard for them to conceptualize that someone else might want to do it a different way or that their use case means they can't do it the normal way. But since they have no way of empathizing, they just tell them to do it their way.

Windows support is a person barely reading your question, then giving a copypasted answer that they also barely read.
