Using Linux is quite easier these days than ever before.
About the usability: One command can update your system as well as all the apps installed. No hassle of shutting down your pc after an update. Limitless comfigurations to make the system your own.
I would suggest using a community based distro, ones like Debian, Linux Mint, Fedora, Arch (Slightly hard), KDE Neon, etc.
There's a very large community and also well written documentation to support you if you get stuck. Also, help is available most of the time in the terminal itself, no need to go anywhere.
There's also the feeling of freedom and that an OS doesn't track you and staying out of the way to give you the most fluid experience acocording to whatever suites you.
- ageofzfarm 5y agoWhat's really difficult for the average user is the installation process. Debian is what I install to friends and family because the system is really tested, stable and does not annoy them with continuous update pop ups. Then every two years, we have a dinner at my place and I help them upgrade. They tell me that their pc seems less "magical", that they feel they have more control over what it does. The only real issue is compatibility with the office suite when the beancounter sends Excel sheets.

The only way I ever got it to work was installing RHEL (money) or Ubuntu Landscape (money after 10 servers). This would be super nice, as then I could once again have year long uptimes for my boxes.
