That's ...quite an odd statement. Linux is linux. The big distinguishing feature between most distros these days is the number and freshness of packages available to install, and how user friendly the default desktop environment is. Especially with recent advances in running windows games / apps via proton, there's never been an easier time to adopt it. I grant you, some people do not really have the skills to use linux, but my ~ 70 year old mother gets by perfectly fine with linux mint. I would expect anyone on hacker news to be able to do the same unless you had windows specific specialty apps (autocad, etc) that you needed to run.
