      This mirrors my experience as a dumb person desperately trying to seem to cool to nerds. I’d alwys try Linux and something wouldn’t work, I’d spend hours trying to fix it, then I’d just stop booting into it.

      Been mono-booting Linux Mint with almost no problems for a year, the same time that Windows is the worst its ever been.

      Did your 7 year old setup their own Linux environment?

      Because anyone can run a fully configured computer. Doesn’t matter if it is Linux or Windows.

      And the problem with Linux is the setup. Too many incompatible or badly written drivers. The first step is already finding hardware that is supported.

      Also, did you use the out-of-the-box experience for Windows? Or try to put in too many workarounds because you didn’t like how Microsoft handles things? I bet your 7 year old would have zero issues with a regular Windows setup.
