I tried Ubuntu, Pop, Mint, Xubuntu. They all have problems. Most of these problems like software or driver support are probably not their fault. But they are problems nontheless. I cannot recommend Linux as a daily driver for non-techsavy users.
I’m using Pop and I’ve definitely had fewer problems than using Windows, and while I’ve tried others in the past that have been pretty fiddly (looking at you Ubuntu), there hasn’t been a single thing that any normal user wouldn’t have been able to deal with so far
It’s awesome for software devs, sys admins, tinkerers. But that’s it. Most distros still have too many issues for me to recommend it to every Windows user.
No, Linux is also great for tech illiterate people who just need a browser and e-mail. It’s only hard for people who think they know computers but really only know some Windows
Well first thing my mom asked me was where she can run Office. Second thing she asked was how she can go back to Windows as it has Office already installed.
I agree with that for daily tasks it’s great and easy.
It works until you try to connect an exotic device in the game or just use a external device most of the time you will have to do it manually or it will just doesn’t work.
On the gripping hand, if you’re trying to connect an older external device, you’re more likely to get it working eventually under Linux (which usually keeps device drivers until they bit-rot out of the kernel tree) than Windows (whose drivers are version-specific and only get ported forward if the manufacturer thinks there’s money in it). Six of one, half-a-dozen of the other, as far as I’m concerned, and device setup is a thing you should only have to do rarely anyway.
Mistral sucks. Vivaldi is Chromium. Linux has terrible user experience.
Mistral is fine. Librewolf is Firefox. Linux has great UX if you choose the right distro

Not to discredit your experiences with Linux but you just listed Ubuntu four times

I hope you don’t try windows cause you’ll find even more problems
it has a great UX, it’s just picky about who its users are

What issues? And does Linux have more issues than Windows or different ones?
Often Windows has more issues, people have just gotten used to dealing with them.
I’m with you on the first two, but disagree on the last. To each their own I guess.
Okay, so go on… instead of only listing negatives, what are the alternatives to each of these that you use?
Librewolf is already listed. There are unfortunately no good alternatives to Windows and ChatGPT or Gemini.
If there isn’t a good replacement for windows, then we can clearly say in your opinion, there are no good operating systems.
So why not support the concept you believe in most?
Because right now it sounds like you’re just making excuses for Microsoft.
Librewolf is just some customized FF variation, so it’s from USA at the core. Same as Vivaldi, of course.
What Linux distros did you try, though? Some are explicitly less user-friendly than others. Also, how about Llama?
