I really want to agree, and I am a big advocate for using Linux exactly because of the hostility from Microsoft, but for most users it definitely is not a drop in replacement. For an average user that is used to Microsoft Office, the difference is simply too big.
It might not be the best example, but just look at how Linus from LTT struggled to get one of the "most user-friendly" distros working.
- taeric 3y agoFor most users, Chromebooks work as a drop in. Most linux distros would be fine. This is especially true nowadays, as Steam has gone a LONG way to make gaming viable in linux.
