Patently untrue. Please stop spreading FUD.

Again, you've obviously never used Linux, or haven't used it in the past ten years. My wife still doesn't know what apt is, and she installs software just fine. All the major distros come with graphical user interfaces, and graphical software managers. Ubuntu and Mint both have a dedicated and polished software "store" which is prominently displayed when the user first boots up a new install. I know Mint also comes with a graphical driver manager specifically for installing 3rd-party firmware if needed.

Only people who didn't touch a single bit of command line interface will be unable to use linux in first place.
But as he/she knows command line interface, he will be able to use it.

Not true at all. have you heard tht for at least 10 years most of linux distributions use GUI? Like, you dont need a command line to use it on user base...

I once attempted to compile Mesa on Linux, and found it to be having a lot of dependencies.
If you have GUI package managers, then it is easy work. But someone coming from Windows wouldn't be able to use Linux at first place.
Ubuntu has a "Software Center" which is pretty much a GUI version of apt-get and is reminiscent of the Android store.

If you aren't compiling anything (and face it, most people don't need to on Linux, these days), you will never even have to touch the terminal for anything.

The terminal is still there for those who are used to it, or who need that extra degree of control that the UI has not yet exposed. But for pretty much every common everyday need, you will never have to touch it if you don't want to.

When I say Ubuntu is good enough to be used in Elementary schools - I am not exaggerating.

It is easy work for Devs, but hard for others.

Why do you insist on harping this point in the face of all the people telling you it's not true? Non-developers use Linux all the time. Most of the major distros have gotten fairly grandparent-proof.

Hell, even BSD has gotten more user-friendly over the years. PC-BSD is fairly usable by school-age children, and Haiku is definitely on its way, getting there.

So if you don't like Linux, that's yet another free and open source option.

As for the topic, I held the latest 2018-01 Windows update to avoid slowdowns.
Linux has lack of high-quality applications.

@Cacodemon345:

Is there even anything you like at all? Just looking at your posting history at Doomworld shows the same kind of whining and complaining about Windows and several other computing aspects.

I still love Windows. Hope that Windows 10 had a 7-ified version.

Always SOME issue for you, isn't there? :roll:

That's not true, either. LibreOffice is an extremely high quality productivity suite, and while not as feature filled as Microsoft Office, it is definitely better at what it does.

Plus, Linux has a whole number of playable and fun games.

You really have no grounds to judge the OS on if you haven't recently tried it. At this point you're literally picking at straws, and it's making your argument fall flat. There is no merit to your point, and I feel you are afraid to concede for fear of being wrong just for once in your life, even when the evidence has proven your points wrong on every single post you make.

I like feature-filled programs like Microsoft Office.
I dislike hard to use OSs like Linux.

It's okay to dislike hard to use OS's but Linux is not hard to use. As I said, you're picking at straws, and your point is invalid.
