Linux has only become much more user friendly in about the past 5 years. Installing Linux Mint in my experience was actually easier than Windows. It comes down to education and the misconception that using Linux is somehow more difficult than Windows or iOS. The hard truth is if someone is using Windows or iOS they are probably just too lazy to switch as long as it does what they need they don’t care if they’re being burdened with bloatware or spied on.

Linux Mint because it’s extremely simple and has caused me no issues for over a year. It’s the best distribution to get someone who is afraid to switch from Windows or MacOS to understand that using Linux can be just as easy.
