Windows10 UI is the same as Windows7. I don't get what you're saying here.

Linux is by any means objectively the worst UI for end-user. Otherwise the year of linux desktop would arrive.

- pritambaral 9y ago"User-friendly" doesn't have to mean "user-empowering", just that it can be used without too much effort. In fact, all examples (that I can think of) of OS UX changes that were supposedly made to be more user-friendly, took away power/choice/features from users. From Windows 10 to OS X. In the world of Linux DEs, allowing the user to change the DE is considered a "power-user" feature. Sounds quite the opposite of "user-friendly", doesn't it?
