You're right, broader compatibility and being more user-friendly serves no use to anyone
Linux is compatible with almost all windows software now, and windows is absolutely not more user friendly, it's just what you're used to.
Install windows software: download the exe or msi and click OK 2 or 3 times
Install Linux software: you got at least 40hrs to learn terminal commands to install dependencies n shit? I fucking don't, that's not what user-friendly looks like to 90% of the planet
It's clear you haven't used linux.
Windows: open edge, go to google, type the package you want, scroll past ads, download random executable from internet, execute, click through wizard, open program.
Linux: open package manager, search package you want, click install, open program.
You seem rather fixated on Edge, unlike anyone who's ever used Windows.
Windows has winget now. It's great.
Why go for the bootleg Linux when you can get the actual one?
I have, quite a bit: Ubuntu, Red Hat, Mint, Debian. Not everything is in your precious package manager
You'll never convince the zealots who believe sun shines out of Torvalds' asshole.
Their lack of self-awareness makes me laugh, that's all it is
And once you've done it once, you can install it again on another machine by just using
Linux:
$PACKAGE_MANAGER install $PACKAGE, open program.Windows: open edge, go to google, type the package you want, scroll past ads, download random executable from internet, execute, click through wizard, open program.
