I don’t daily drive linux at home because of the video editing software I need to use (Davinci black magic) not reliably working and often breaking on upgrades. Secondarily, some games won’t run. If I’m afraid to upgrade to not break things, that puts my security at risk which is not an acceptable situation.

The installation is irrelevant to the use of Linux. The vast majority of people never installed Windows. And they never will.

No it does not.

TL;DR: People who cant use linux never learned the basics of computers. They just learned where to click to do x and where to do y in windows, and they just instantly lock up once anything is different

Therefore, the only way to get people to use linux is either getting them to learn how to use a computer, or make Linux behave exactly like windows.
